Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Everything we don’t share is lost …
What Else

Interests

Oh… where to begin?
I’m into many things — and especially what happens when you mix them.

Art, tech, music, digital — I love blending it all to create something new.
Philosophy — not name-dropping thinkers, but actually diving into ideas and concepts.
I’m curious by nature, and I enjoy talking about almost anything — especially if it challenges the way we think.
So… what’s your passion?

  • arts
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • drawing
  • music
  • geopolitics
  • sociology
  • roleplaying games
  • cybersecurity
  • computer
  • culture sharing
  • infowar

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m into cinema, series, and music — all the stuff that tells stories or moves you without words.

Music? Let’s talk.
I’m into good electro — the kind that hits deep.
From dark electro like VNV Nation, to electro-pop like Covenant, to timeless alt-rock like Pixies.

What about you — what’s in your headphones right now?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve done a bunch of amazing things in my life.
Just to be clear though:
– I’ve never killed an alligator with my bare hands.
– I’ve never fought a dragon (but I’d definitely lose — no shame).

But!
– I did exhibit my drawings in New York City, September 2013 — still pretty wild.
– And I once turned my CV into a 3D infographic — because why not make HR work for it?

Life’s too short for boring projects.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone’s got a hidden superpower — seriously.
Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes it’s weird, but it’s there.
Look at people with curiosity and you’ll always find something worth learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don’t bring souvenirs, but I do bring stories.
I can share good music.
If you're into art, tech, or philosophy (the real kind — not just quoting dead guys), we’ll probably get along just fine.

I’m always mixing digital, sound, and thoughts to create weird little things.
But honestly? The best part is just sharing time, meals, laughs — and learning from each other.
