About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Staying on the run. To never settle, like a true nomad.

ABOUT ME

Hello!

I am in a transitional period. I am training to become an Architect, but I am also learning to become a better person. I hope by travelling I can meet many different types of personalities from which I can adopt new ways to interpret what is around us. Creativity is borrowed, absorbed, and manipulated.

I hope to make people feel comfortable around me. Sometimes I will break you in with some poor jokes, and I hope to get some cheesy ones out of you. I like trying things I have never heard of especially if it is food. Experiencing cultural rituals or actions are especially intriguing.

Every week I sit in Native Indian sweats where I expel toxins from my body in a pitch black lodge made of branches and black tarps. The extreme heat is mind numbing and allows for very clear thoughts afterwards.

I don't like mindless sports (UFC) and I am very much annoyed by American Dubstep. I prefer music with layers and atmosphere which is able to inspire imagination.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't dwell on the past

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading positive words about the incredible experiences and incredible people. I hope to host in the future. Ashamed I haven't already.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am still a CouchSurfing noob. I hope to host many people in the future, wherever I will be as I travel and work. I am single with no restraints and will be looking forward to evolving my current self with you.

I have had some excellent experiences with Marth Vader (Oslo) and Katarzyna (Warsaw). I experienced the environment and culture through the eyes of a local and will never forget how much more rewarding the experience was this way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Still trying to figure it all out. We need to be more cheesy like the old days. No more being embarrassed to say something. No more being ashamed of what you like and listen to. People are too cool these days.

Every 7 years all the cells in your body have regenerated. What will you take forward?
