About Me

CURRENT MISSION

probably to find one...

ABOUT ME

'Tea drinking, mad thinking, music making gypsy.' (?)
That is a tough one.
I always try to be kind.

PHILOSOPHY

"Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your ends" Kant

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have both surfed and hosted and have met some great people in the process...

Interests

Music - both writing and performing it- many of my travels now are for gigs. I just released an album which you can find here is you should care to listen: gazeisghost.bandcamp.com/ (you may invite me to stay, then discover you hate my music and bitterly regret your decision. I would like to spare you that ;))
I also love painting, and reading, I guess that's a big one. And discussing these things with people-that's nice.
