About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reclaim full restoration.

ABOUT ME

Curious and open to new stuff and challenges kind of person. I like to interact with new people, who wish to share experiences and knowledge. A chat with someone from a distant place can sometimes be half the experience of traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

If you are not ready to admit your own wrongs, then anything you say about others is just noise coming out of your mouth.

Keep your head straight, your ears uncovered and your eyes wide open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I found out about couchsurfing I have used the internet to visit a foreign country in more or less the same philosophy. A friend offered her place to stay so I managed to stay many more days than I would stay if I was to pay a hotel, because Japanese hotels are not quite cheap! ;) This was a year after I offered my house to my friend to stay. This summer since I will be staying in Athens, I will (and already) have lots of chances to meet surfers and visitors!

Interests

Listening to a lot of different music styles, riding my motorcycle, playing tennis, taking long walks, dancing, photography, movies, beer(a lot!), swimming, camping (above all others), playing the bass...

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae, dub, drum&bass, chillout, ambient, ethnic, meditational, minimal techno, psychedelic trance, rock, blues,jazz, funk, metal, almost everything

From movies, anything that has some sense into it. Not a great fan of light-comic-sentimental stuff, I enjoy a smart comedy as much as I enjoy a good psychological thriller, or an old B&W Japanese classic. The Taxi Driver is one of the movies that changed my life.

Books I have loved contain the Elric of Melnibone Saga, a couple of Graham Masterton's horror novels, Nick Hornby's "A long way down", "A Cloud of Sparrows" by Takashi Matsuoka, many books by Osho, and of course, the "Little Prince"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Participated in a traditional Japanese Ceremony almost bellow Fuji-san. The vocals were thrilling!

Teach, Learn, Share

Benefits of being honest to oneself :P
Anything that is available, really. That says it all. I feel I have very few stuff to teach, but have the will to interact.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, France, Japan, Thailand
