About Me

After a lot of studying, working with my intellect, ratio and computers, trying to find my way to contribute to society and the Earth environment, I realized to have to dive deeper into my body. Getting in touch more with my emotions, and working with my hands and body.

I love working with Wood, building furniture and wood carving. I love garden work, getting my hands into the Dirt. As well as wandering alone into the bush, enjoying the majesty of this beautiful world. I like to share my time with the many beautiful people that this world knows. Making music together, sharing stories of our own inner and outer travels, laughing about the joy (and stupidity) of life and walking this Earth together for a little while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, to inspire each other. To be with the adventurous flow that meeting new people brings!

Interests

What interests me most now is to dive into artistic endeavors such as making music, writing poetry or drawing. Its mot that I consider myself to be very good, but its the art itself that draws me closer to myself.

Nature immersion is something else I really love. Being at ease and one with all those beings is a extraordinary feeling.
