About Me

CURRENT MISSION

experience.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy existing most of the time, nature and the ocean very much. I'am usually happy relaxing and making music/sounds and being absorbed in music, a film, book or being in the world, as much as meeting people and going out to see good/interesting music, checking out art galleries and exhibitions and museums. Also eating delicious food and having some drinks with friends is super.
I've realised being near water and the sea is important to me.
Enjoy everyday things.

PHILOSOPHY

See as much as possible.
Have fun. learn. Trial and error. share. understand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Also, it would be a dream to travel to far away places hopefully with someone.
