About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After traveling around over a year in East Asia, I'm in Switzerland to settle down with my partner whom I met during my journeys. Getting used to local flora and fauna, food and language...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, collect stories. Bread and butter.

Interests

cooking, world cuisine, traveling, photography, dancing, board games, study of games and their history, technology and gadgets, anime.

Besides visual storytelling, I also mess with creative writing, composing music and sculpting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like fantasy and sci-fi. I'm quite into anime and animated short films.

I grew up with retro games and have thing for them. I enjoy most forms of art, especially visual arts.

I love Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
Cowboy Bebop is my all time favorite anime.

I'm interested in neurobiology, neuroscience and evolutionary psychology. I like to read papers and blogs on these subjects.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off a 1200m mountain and had a few acrobatics with a paragliding parachute.

Had white water rafting during a thunderstorm - lucky lucky.

Scuba diving in tropical waters. Plane wrecks, ship wrecks, a dream of fish.

I've lived without a roof on a beach by a forest for two months and during this time, I've came across many kinds of wildlife.

Managed to get from Torino to Genova in a single day - on a day of public transportation strike (and still managed it with public transportation!)...

3.5 months of solo backpacking trip through Europe. A year of solo backpacking around East Asia; teaching, painting, living with locals and collecting memories through 8 countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about painting, sculpting, many sorts of art and craft materials. How to brew Turkish coffee. More nerdy stuff about science and history of games.
