About Me

CURRENT MISSION

integrating studies and other interests

ABOUT ME

Android type a 64732

(see other sections)

PHILOSOPHY

Rilke puts it nicely:(rough translation)

I live my life in growing circles,
that flow over the things.
The last one I might never finish
but try it I will

I circle round God, the ancient Tower
I circle millenias long
and I don't jet know: Am I a falcon, a storm
or a great Song

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

anyone can come to my place for a couple of days
(weeks if get on more than well). I just like to have
a coffee with everyone before they come to my place to
be sure that I don't have a bad impression.

and of course...sometimes I travel

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

some friends in valencia hosted some people
and we had a good time

Interests

I got plenty of interests (which is not always good for my studies) The two main ones are:

MUSIC:
1)Violin - I play since I'm a kid - educated in classsical music but nowadays also Klezmer, gypsy,fiddling,jazz.. I love to have jamming sesions.
2) Guitar and singing : I do that when I should study
and I'm too lazy ;-) Not my main instruments, but I like it.

and

KUNG FU:
I practise in the Hung-choy style since several years.
I do it for self defence,the energy work(Chi) and the
philosophy behind it. Of course never for aggression.

other:

Philosophy (for example E. Fromm, Novalis, Heraklit, R. Steiner, Buddhism)
