About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to explore what I can do and what I can do with people.

ABOUT ME

World is a strange place. Also people. They are a big interest of mine, along with singing and jamming and dancing when in the mood (and with encouraging people). I love nature and leisurely pace of life, that leaves time for spontaneous adventures. I'm always wondering stuff and marveling things, finding magic in almost all things I encounter. Sea is a delight (whether on it, in it or beside it :D) and makes me calm and happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Your life is an occasion too special to be left in the hands of fate (or anyone but YOU)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host people. I do need a mattress before that though, I will try find one. I also have only one key, I'll try do something about that, too :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2 months surfing in Ireland and France. I had such good times and I made many good friends. Opened up my mind for a different level with myself and people in general. Brief surfs outside the net-network ever since.

Interests

plants and especially trees, anarchy, runes, kung fu & all matrial arts, mythology, stories, languages and fabrics of consciouness, sunshine and rain along with all nature's phenomena, seagulls and crows, playing music and singing, learning by playing, evening time, sailing... so on..

Music, Movies, and Books

I love good books. Latest read was "Witchcraft and gay counterculture" by Evans

I like Roald Dahl, Robert McLiam Wilson and Robert Anton Wilson

Comics: Asterix & Obelix, Sandman, Hellblazer

I mostly watch cartoons.
Adventure Time, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legends of Korra, Bodaucious Space Pirates, Secret of Kells, Mrs. Brisby and the Secret of Nimh and loads of Asian animated cinema

& Anything (cinema, books, documentaries) about the vivid mosaic of international underground counterculture. And Anti-capitalism

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Halloween night on Tara Hill singing a Finnish tune to an old Irish poet
- sitting and smoking in an abandoned boat in an industrial area in Brest with an awesome dude I met the night before at a blues gig I've ever seen (instant connection with random people are great)
- drunk busking on the streets of Toulouse: me playing the guitar and my Welsh friend and a random African dude rapping and beatboxing
- climbing trees and learning Irish simultaneously
- hitchhiking spontaneosly to my summer cottage in Finland with a precious friend of mine, sleeping at the side of the road and getting a ride on a tractor

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has stories. Maybe we can exchange. I love to live-hack (solve any kind of problems) solo and with people. I love climbing trees, it's the best when you have company. I love to learn acrobatics, natural movement, parcour and martial arts. I like yoga but I'm usually too distracted to do it by myself. I'm a creative dumpster-diving vegan cook. Drawing is good fun, and street art. I can do many things, body and mind and beyond, and I like to share with good, interested people.
