CURRENT MISSION

Make records, travel the world, make friends and have a ball across continents

ABOUT ME

I love everything about music so deeply. I love listening to it, reading about it and most making and producing my own music under the name The Violet Whispers

I love food, conversations that last all night, dancing all night, beaches, cinema, TV, books, travelling the world, comedy, podcast and love reading and learning everyday of my life.

I have joined Couch surfing because I am doing an extensive holiday around Europe and the UK and would love to enrich my holiday by meeting and making friends across the world.

To be honest, I don't even need a place to stay as much as I would love to have a rich holiday with like minded who can show the real beauty that exists in the places I am holidaying in.

I guess the aim is to not only soak in the cultural and historical aspects of the cities but to also experience the nightlife as I love music festivals, gigs and dancing in addition to the soul searching aspects of travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

I think this beautiful quote sums everything up :)

"I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out."

— Roger Ebert

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

--I have pursued and achieved (the first step) of my dream which has been achieved against all odds (financial, emotional, spiritual) and can sit here today and say that I have nearly finished my record.

I will you the others when I meet you :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk to people about what their feelings, dreams and their attitudes are to this world. I find it endlessly fascinating the road people of traveled in their lives.

I firmly believe that there is profoundly deep and incredible story behind everybody you meet. The problem is that people don't ask and are not curious enough anymore. Which I hope in my little way to change.

I love recommending music, cinema, clubs, gigs, food and books because all these things can open you to whole new way of thinking and conversations which can enrich both you and me.

Hopefully through these exchanges we can both become more fully formed and accepting individuals than we may already be.
