CURRENT MISSION

Eat well & live rounded. Dismantle pyramids & assemble circles.

ABOUT ME

30 year old male wading his way through the big muddy, looking for some thread of revelation in all the chaos. Making art out of each act of love.

PHILOSOPHY

This needs more space than this little box. I am open to sharing it whenever I meet who ever I come across if they are willing to give the same gift. The main idea is to expand understanding through extending my experience outside of my comfort zone as far as possible. Trust in people and try to learn their ways and views to give sense to how the evil and the beauty of this world is propagated by our kind. Seek sources of inspiration, think for myself, live laugh love. Find space to connect without words. Find space to communicate with our inhuman kin. Expand my mind. Keep hope, keep happy, but let the low end of the arc swing in now and then too.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Openly

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The bulk of it has been a trip around Europe with a few hosts interspersed in the rest of the overwhelming hospitality I received during that trip. I've returned the good favor by hosting since I've been home in Canada and that has always been great fun too.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Once I was born.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

If you give me a chance, and some sort of tube with the right diameter and a decent length, I can show you how to circular breath and a few tricks on the didgeridoo. I can't say I'll teach you how, you have to teach yourself, but I can give you a start and a reason to want to learn maybe.
