Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To visit every continent on the planet
ABOUT ME
musician, wanderer, thinker, tryer of new things. I love travelling. As my goal says I want to make it to every continent on the planet. But I'm not in any rush. There's no reason not enjoy all each continent has to offer. I'm pretty laid back, but when I go on trips my energy is boundless (almost). I've been travelling a lot ever since I moved to Prague over 3 years ago. I love meeting people with a completely different background from me, and I love finding out all the weird things about a culture you don't see in the travel books. The best advice I get about travelling comes from people who live in the places I'm going to and simply telling me what they're favorite thing to do is.
PHILOSOPHY
Live life with no expectations. (This a lesson I have to relearn every so often)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
guiding passers through, looking for guides in far away lands
Interests
crazy festivals, oversized monuments/buildings, traditional music and dance, definitely anything that has that special Wow! factor. I also play music here in Tokyo. I almost have a band together and hopefully soon we'll be playing out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Saw the sunrise over the Mediterranean on my flight back from Egypt to Prague. Just one of the many amazing things I saw on my trip to Egypt. Everything was pitch black and then in about 20 minutes the whole sky turned into a huge rainbow.
