I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELLING IN SPAIN

Failing to find a funny but still deep and smart sentence that wraps up my personality, so I guess I have to start a really long and annoying monologue (that you don't have to read, because you could also meet me in person and I will be so kind and recite it for you)

About me:
I am a little bit of a coffee addict, proud owner of an antique brick phone, somewhere between a barefoot hippie who sings peaceful mantras and an angry feminist who wears dongeries. But also, why define myself as I see myself changing everyday, especially while travelling.

Music is my passion and survival strategy. I play guitar and started with piano and I love spontaneous jam sessions (which I've experienced a lot in my travels) because I love the special and beautiful connection that music always creates even between total strangers. I believe that music is one of the most powerful things in this world as it can make many people feel like one, just through singing the same song and I love that feeling of connection and unison. Been trying to earn my travelling money with busking quite successfully...

HONESTY, EMPATHY, ACCEPTANCE

Please don't ask me anything about beer, even though my country really wants me to, I don't enjoy drinking alcohol or pubs (except for a philosophical glass of red wine, mainly because it makes me feel more like an artist)

I'm thinking a lot about social norms, traditions, why are some behaviours socially accepted and others not and maybe how to change that... also got a bit in political activism last year, like environmental stuff and internationalism, anti-racism and feminism.
I want to learn, grow as a person, develop a deeper understanding for the people around me, really see them and really listen to them, also in order to understand myself better. People are my teachers, they all know things and see things from a different perspective than me and can give me examples of how I could live my life.

I love languages and it's fascinating to me how they shape they way we feel about things and influence a whole culture's way of thinking. (I'm getting better at Spanish everyday, but now I started with French and French is an arrogant asshole haha)

Although all this is sounding a bit dramatic and kind of like you would imagine a person reciting a poem with a lot of meaningful sighs and gestures, I can actually be funny sometimes and I particularly love people who like to imagine goofy scenarios and complicated wordplays and I'm always shifting around between taking my self way too seriously and being melancholic about the world and not taking nothing serious at all and just seeing my life and the world as a really long joke that gets funny if I tell it the right way...

I draw and paint almost everyday. This is how I cope with my emotions mostly and how I bring all these ideas and thoughts that overwhelm my mind sometimes into material existence, hoping that others might be able to see the world from my point of view.
But enough of talking, let's meet and have a good time :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Coming to the biggest Asian Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal, before sunrise and listening to the people praying and chanting while walking around over and over again. Sitting on a bench and watching the world wake up while these big eyes were watching me the whole time.

Having my first concert ever in a bar in Pokhara, playing guitar and singing for 30 minutes straight, performing the three Nepali songs that I've learned with everybody in the room singing along at the end.
