About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teach musicians the art of shred, and the non musicians how to become musicians who will embrace shredding! For it is the future!

ABOUT ME

I'm a really laid back Eurasian studying in Milan, Italy. Although I spend more time around music which is my first love (I'm running out of space in my place to put my instruments!!). I'm also an alcohol aficionado, especially for Scotch Whisky. I love bouncing around from one place to another, switching languages and talking to anyone who will or won't understand me. Pretty much open to anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Shred, shred, shred! I'm talking musically of course...
Seriously though, I don't think I have a personal philosophy. And going with the flow is too cliche, plus I already wrote it down up there. So my personal philosophy is...

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Saw the whole CS experience with a friend and really got me interested. So much to learn from so many out there! Note: I'm not as serious as I *may* sound...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and surfed a bit.

Interests

Music: jamming with other people(guitar, bass, drums, anything I can get my hands on), going to loads of concerts, fooling around with recordings. Scotch Whisky, trying my hand at cooking, languages and more languages, going out and just going with the flow. I also adore Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Arnis, so if you wanna roll or spar while you're here, I'm always done for that! Or I can teach you if you're interested!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not much of a movie buff, I do enjoy them from time to time. Mostly action, comedy, thrillers but I don't really have movies that stand out.

Now music on the other hand is a TOTALLY different thing. My main love is metal and all types. Just to name a few bands, or I could still be here in a few years, Nevermore, Dark Tranquillity, Wintersun, Testament, Amorphis, Korpiklaani, Behemoth, Kataklysm, Opeth, Ensiferum, Norther, Kalmah, Finntroll, Iced Earth, Annihilator, Amon Amarth, Symphony X, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, Carcass, Slayer, Megadeth, Blotted Science, Cannibal Corpse, The Absence, At The Gates, Imperanon, Insomnium, Immortal, Keep Of Kalessin, Marduk, Watain, Anorexia Nervosa, Emperor, Kreator, Celtic Frost, Angra, Firewind, Obituary, Stratovarius, Haggard, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Edguy, Unleashed, Grave, Dismember, Entombed, Swallow The Sun, Paradise Lost, Daylight Dies, Katatonia, Moonsorrow, Necrophagist, Nile, Ashura (ok I'm stopping now...). I also enjoy rock and alternative, blues, jazz, classical music (huge Paganini fan), underground rap and reggae. I'm pretty much open to everything as long as it does have some thought put it in and isn't just a marketing plan.

As for books, I'm a huge James Patterson fan. I mainly like all those thriller types.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is not very special, but I love the feeling of performing live. Oh but scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef was absolutely stunning!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages, and swearing in others that I don't fully speak. Also some instruments, the art of cocktail making. I also have mad pool shark skills that come really handy...

I'd love to learn more languages! I can't get enough of it... And basically anything anyone is willing is teach!
