Freshly arrived from the Renaissance, simply followed the stars and somehow ended up here. Still a bit jet lagged from the century shift. Not a time traveller, not that you’d ever know.

Now drifting from city to city, towns to villages, and into more trouble than I plan for. I make art, get lost in strange places both real and imagined, and talk to strangers until they stop being strangers.

Basically, a man of myriad passions, with a particular fondness for the arts and sciences.

Should our paths cross, beware: I might have a small, incurable habit of peering into your thoughts and stories, and the way your eyes contain a certain world. Strictly for research purposes, of course.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be able to meet and connect with some wonderful people.

Interests

I like my interests to be piqued and my curiosity to be restless. I love the freedom of just being able to learn and evolve, to explore new things, understand old ones, to know more of this world, this life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything that thrills me, makes me hold my breath and ponder deeply over things or sometimes just close my eyes and enjoy the little fleeting sensations of its brilliance. There's lots of such stuff when it comes to art, you'll know eventually.
