About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become a resonating instrument of the universe

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about creating art, and all forms of creativity. I'm currently trying to travel and make art at the same time, which has several drawbacks, for example, a very heavy pack with paints inside and all sorts of other ridiculous objects.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the only reality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have experienced so much amazing generosity and hospitality in my travels. From your standard couch in a flat, to a tent erected in a backyard, to time spent with an amazing family in Mexico. I am continuously inspired by the loving spirit of humans. I cannot wait until I settle down in a stable residence and I can offer a space of sanctuary to a fellow traveller.

Interests

Art, painting, drawing, reading, yoga, chocolate. Experiencing all facets and extremes of the human experience. Walking, talking, playing music, listening to music, listening to silence. Creativity, making things with my hands, and making instruments. Bike riding, swimming in the ocean. Cooking and eating. Drinking tea!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am crazy about those three things.

I love all types music from all over the world. Dusty african music, anonymous Moroccan desert blues, weird psychedelic drone, space jazz, beautiful forest mushroom folk songs...

Film is one of my favourite art mediums, and I dream of making a film one day. Holy Mountain remains one of my favourite art works created last century!!...

And I love books, especially when combined with cups of tea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
