An interdisciplinary artist who travels between Asia, Europe and USA. Besides making art, music and films; I create movements and social impact programs. INTP. Loves fine food, hidden bars and quiet conversations. Own 3 famous cats.

I am also a contemporary artist, a pioneer in the blockchain world, with digital tracking of my art collection for provenance and authentication. An early adopter of tech solutions because I enjoy hanging out with genius geeks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Very curious about couchsurfing and meeting random people (on days I decide to crawl out of my creative solitude). Most of my travels are with fixed accommodation plans so in between, I’d like to have some adventures that are off my beaten track and my friends told me about couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : Jazz, orchestral soundtracks, anime music.. silence.
Movies : Animation films, animated productions, children's content, romantic comedies, real life stories..

Books : Management, business, leadership, self help guides, DIY manuals, random classics, instructions, dictionaries, the internet, etc. I also love listening to audio books because it is not so easy these days to find time to read.

I also write poems/lyrics, compose music, make sounds and produce 60-second films for giggles. So I actually sit in silence when I’m on my own (because I need to hear myself think).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Overcame paralysis twice (1992 and 2003) due to spine tumours when I was 17 and 28, so my bucket list is neverending. I am regularly checking off new experiences and racing to better myself - time is my most expensive commodity. I travel to new cities at every opportunity, am most hungry for impact and often cross paths with extraordinary individuals who are doing the same. Miracles happen around me due to divine intervention. It is all a matter of allowing to be led by faith.

Teach, Learn, Share
