I'm fascinated by the infinite possibilities in which this universe manifests itself, and I love constantly stretching the limits of my understanding of it.

I'm also a composer of concert music, as well as dance and film music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling, for me, is a way of doing jus that through direct experience rather than intellectual understanding. I love meeting human beings who challenge and expand my way of understanding and being!
