Overview
About Me
Working a dumb job while I try to become a full fledged musician. I practice every day. I am a multi instrumentalist, polymath and autodidact. I think that love is the highest wisdom. I am driven by fun - however I feel that fun at the expense of others is not as fun as working together so I tend to choose the latter. Way more fun if we all get along :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am a fairly extroverted person. A bunch of folks with similar interests I have met online in a place called #love actually met through couchsurfing so I thought I should give it a shot too.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music : bjork, galantis, desert dwellers, kalya scintilla, andrew bird, amanda palmer, solar fields, koan, radiohead, chet faker, leonard cohen, tool, etc. Like a lot of psy-dub and chill music and a lot of odd singles from acoustic or alt rock or blues music like alabama shakes, pwr bttm, johhny cash, tom waits, etc
Books : last favourite thing I read was The Diamond Age. What a book - feel like I will never read one I like more. Have read Robert Zelazny, Tracy Hickman, R. A. Salvatore, Terry Goodkind, Fritz Lieber, and more ! I prefer to listen to audiobooks these days if I do. Currently waiting for a novel to be published this spring so I can get a printed copy - this will be the first fiction I read in paper format in a long while/ iirc it is called The Last Druid.
Movies : I liked The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Blueberry, The Matrix, The Book of Life, Ghost Dog, Clue, some Russian films.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Brewed my own ayahuasca. That was fun. Viva la purga as they say ! Using plants to be a better person really works well. I do not do that sort of thing purely for fun.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to do music. There are simple exercises which can turn any one into a pro. Can teach pranayama for general health, stress reduction and mindfulness. I'd love to learn more languages in person with some one. I can share
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my biiiig heart and a smile :) . I can share a song or two or three...
