About Me

CURRENT MISSION

the unbearable lightness of being. Doesn't it get unbearable ?

ABOUT ME

to experience life in its many facets and challenge myself to grow as an individual in the process while having as much fun as possible

PHILOSOPHY

Living in the moment, immersing myself in my environment in full way and releasing perceived and imaginary limitations that inhibit realizing, actualizing, digesting deep fundamental desires/passions and then, letting that snake eat itself again.
"to look outside the boot"-Cloe Sevigny

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Human interaction is a wonderful thing as well as having the opportunity to experience and share our home environments with each other, bridges the divide of stranger. Really keen on experiencing others and sharing my own little personal pockets of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
hosting friends and friends of friends in Vancouver, Berlin, Dresden, and Lisbon unofficially and staying on others couches throughout my travels (luckily all really positive experiences)

Interests

Art in its many mediums whether its creating, sharing or experiencing
Good music that resonates throughout your body, giving you that profound light or heavy emotional stimulation, that gets your body moving or deeply resting
Dancing, uninhibited rhythmic movement is a miracle
Eating consciously, I mean it's becoming you, a weird process.
Nature, breathing more sanely in it
Sunshine, changes things
learning, when your actually keen and involved
that saving, momentary wisdom you exercise every once in a while that makes life smoother
Coming across a smell that brings you back to something specific
smell
spirituality
untangling dreams and their landscapes

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, predates language = very special. My music interest can be transitory and all over the place, but Ill always have a soft spot for Harry Partch, Yoko Ono, Bijork, throbbing gristle, Nico, Daniel Johnston ooo and specifically this abul mogard tape that was given to me with a wonky tape player that adds a varying delay that makes it extra mind blindingly beautiful

I have difficulty reading but am keen on audiobooks
listening to braiding sweetgrass right now
Toni Morrison is such a nice voice to listen to.

I really love films by Agnes Varde, Jane Campion, Andrei Tarkovsky lots actually I always forget. I love watching movies. always into new ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
