About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the tangent. To explore, create and appreciate and let loooiiiffe smash me in all its goodness

ABOUT ME

I love describing myself in a small typed box. Not sure, suppose I am pretty cruisy, relaxed, like to laugh and tell ridiculous stories, often due to my own naivete. Love travelling and spend my whole time either saving up, going somewhere, or being broke drinking beer and thinking about going somewhere.
Life is good, so I just enjoy it.

PHILOSOPHY

I leave philosophy to people much smarter than me. I like to think about it, like to confuse myself and read nietzche and the bible at the same time, but things are really pretty simple. I know nothing.
But life is goooooood.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only recently signed up, need some more info here I guess.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, looking forward to it - need a change from hostels and would love to have random guests at my place.

Interests

Travel everywhere with my battered guitar and love playing my mellow tunes.
Read a lot, especially african history, poetry, and the old russian maaaasters.
When warmed up, can pump out a few pretty special dance moves, or try at least, and love some groovy beats and artificial inspiration.

Music, Movies, and Books

Where to start, theres not much I dont like. Its more about having the time to cram as much in as possible. Bands, books, scams, and cinematic looks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was in a local bus in ethiopia, tired, cramped, cold. Suddenly the sun rose across the tall mountains illuminating the swaying green fields of maize. Perched on spindly wooden towers dotted across the crops were small dark boys, mere shadows with long lazily swinging slings, hurling stones at the crows in the morning light. An amazing, reinvigorating sight. Life wins again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Have been getting into fire twirling lately. Sounds strange, but the sound of flames spinning and whooshing around, when moving and dancing at the same time to smooth tunes is an incredible feeling. Try it.
As for esoteric knowledge - read hermann hesses book the glass bead game, this man really thought outside the sphere
