About Me

An old man with a booming voice and a strange Kentucky accent once told me 'live life for every pennys worth!'. And so that is what I have tried to do, do as much as I can to fulfill my dreams but still take care to sit back and enjoy the moment and not to neglect friends and family. I think every problem has a great solution, although thats easy to forget, and that people all have some kind of wisdom if you just take the time to look for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only used couchsurfing a few times, but every time I have met nice people and had a good time. It makes it possible for me to travel more than I would be able to afford without it.

Interests

culture, art, music, meeting interesting people, sitting on cafes, drawing, reading, writing, philosophy, physics, geology and so much more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, from death grips to chopin, ella fitzgerald to kyary pamyu pamyu. My favorite movie is ghost in the shell and favorite book are the Harry Potter and Discworld series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a baby zebra being born in the wild in Kenya. That was pretty rad.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : I can teach you to make a gif in photoshop (very good skill to have)
Learn : I'd like to learn about you and what you are passionate about!
Share : I can sing for you, and in fact I most likely will if we go out for more than three drinks.
