CURRENT MISSION

...realizing something that I did not imagine.

ABOUT ME

In response: No, no, no, everyone (can be) an artist.
I am a multimedia-freelancing-coding-artist-teacher-kind-of-guy. I was trained as a musician, but not practicing the profession. I am more active on the other side of the recording device, and as a multi-media person. I appreciate almost all forms of art and design, at least, what I believe to be pleasing. I do not think of myself as an American, but as an earthling who is interested in sound, light, beauty in unlikely places....food is also good. Ideally, I think of myself as an aspiring terrestrial-ist.

PHILOSOPHY

Willy Wonka: "Never, never doubt what nobody is sure about."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

They have re-designed the navigation on the CS site. Thank the gods.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a bit and hosted quite a bit. Overall, the experience of hosting was really great. A few minor exceptions, but nothing of a horror story. I usually expect a bit of conversation when communicating online. I think it is only fair to get at least a bit of a person's character.

Interests

music, photography (pinhole and B&W printing), concerts, art-venues, exhibitions, excursions, eccentric personalities, fringe culture, YOGA, outdoor things, skate boarding, hiking, surfing, boating, sailing, kite-flying, baseball.
