Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make Art/History.
ABOUT ME
I am a sculptor and world traveler, an avid reader and an amateur art historian. . I like living in places that used to be the center of civilization.
PHILOSOPHY
Such a shame, My defenses have become my own restrictions.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Using it to learn another language and meet people. I have hosted a number of people, not all the time through couchsurfing, but when I was a tour guide, I met about 20 people a day, and sometimes helped them out with accommodation and historical tidbits.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I lived on a mattress on the floor for 3 weeks in Tivoli... pre-joining this site. I basically lived in my art studio. I have lived in a new apartment every two months for more than a year. Does that count?
