About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To stay happy and free and follow my ambitions!

ABOUT ME

Hello there!

I'm an easygoing and humorous mural painter/street artist.

I have a rather positive attitude towards life and other people. I like long conversations and sharing life experiences. I have traveled and met loads of very different kind of people in many walks of life.

At the moment I'm living a life that I've always wanted and I feel very inspired. Living in the nature, painting for living and having loads of freedom, some good friends and nice adventures.

If you're looking to see more than the usual city views, I can take you to country side and forest, abandoned places and well, anywhere we decide to go.

PHILOSOPHY

"Restricting your vision will only limit the awareness of your own existence."

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are."

"You should fear not going slowly, but stopping; You should fear not stopping, but turning back."

"I came to this world with nothing. And I'll leave with nothing but love. Everything else is just borrowed."

"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive.

Interests

All kinds of art, nature, people. Music is very essential to me, I love singing, playing and listening to it. I'm interested in creative ways of living and decorating and most of our stuff is from flea markets. I love photographing too. Drawing and painting are my all time favorites. Forest is where I feel the most alive and at peace. Traveling is when I feel like a child again, surrounded with so many things to explore. I love gardening, writing, listening to people's stories and feeling them. I'm also a bit of an adrenalin junkie so I feel the need to do some extreme stuff from time to time and test my limits.
