I’d like to start with a smile 🙂
As a human being, I genuinely try to live with love, compassion, and kindness, remaining harmless to every living creature on this Earth. My expectation from life is beautifully simple: that everyone may live freely, happily, and peacefully, with dignity and respect for one another.

I’ve been living in one of the most spectacular, charming, and vibrant cities in the world...Bangkok for quite a while now. Professionally, I am a musician, composer, recording artist, music director, guitarist, and music teacher. Beyond music, I am also a professional photographer, documentary filmmaker, mountaineer, and outdoor specialist. I run three businesses, and I have an internationally recognized band. My most recent studio album was produced and released worldwide, and it’s available on Spotify.

I am on a lifelong mission to travel the entire world....every single country. I deeply resonate with Albert Einstein’s words: “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” Inspired by this philosophy, I have spent many years traveling, backpacking, hiking, and climbing mountains to connect more deeply with Mother Nature, the world, and its beautiful people.

I’ve been fortunate to experience countless trips and adventures across many regions of the world. As a mountaineer, I have trekked and climbed numerous mountains, including peaks rising above 5,000 meters. I have extensive experience in trekking, camping, and expedition-style travel through tropical mountains, jungles, and remote islands across various countries many times over. There are still so many places left to explore, and I’m determined to experience them all.

I’m also a passionate long-distance runner, and just to share a fun fact: I’ve run 28,000+ kilometers in the last five years!
Photography and documentary filmmaking are very close to my heart. I have traveled to many remote, challenging, and even dangerous places to capture stories through my lens. Most of my work focuses on nature, raw landscapes, and places that test human endurance and spirit.
When it comes to my character, I see myself as introspective, friendly, easygoing, liberal minded, chivalrous, and cheerful. I genuinely love learning from nature and from wonderful people, so I can deepen my human values on a more spiritual level and gradually discover my true inner self. Like everyone else, I am a man with imperfections and shortcomings, but I consciously try to learn from my mistakes and keep evolving into a better, more aware, and kinder human being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It’s beautifully simple. As a genuine traveler, I truly love meeting travelers from different parts of the world, listening to their stories, sharing experiences, and learning from one another. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about a place to stay; it’s about human connection, cultural exchange, and creating moments that feel real and meaningful.

I enjoy opening my space and my heart to like-minded travelers, offering not just a roof, but a warm, homely atmosphere where people can feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely welcomed. Whether it’s sharing conversations late into the night, exchanging travel wisdom, music, laughter, or silence after a long journey, I believe these small shared moments are what truly make travel unforgettable.
Couchsurfing allows me to connect with the world through people, and that’s why I’m here. 🌍

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC : Haha, I am a musician, it's very hard to answer about my favorite music as I am enamored of a heck of a lot of bands and artists. Despite the fact that I basically am a rock musician, but as a listener I listen to good music of almost every genre. Anyway, I'd just say one thing about my favorite bands, I am an ultimate sucker for 'Pink Floyd' and 'The Beatles'.

MOVIES: Hey, a real movie buff here, hence another hard question for me to answer. I have more than 3500 movies in my collection. I love good-movie from every genre except horror. Still I am trying to give a list of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have produced a progressive/experimental instrumental rock album with my band and released it internationally. It was quite challenging and not an easy journey at all to conceive ideas for an instrumental album and come up with such record eventually. You'd barely find such bands producing progressive instrumental rock album in the whole world, hence I would proudly say that I have done something amazing and challenging especially in the instrumental music arena.
