About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work towards sustainable happiness

ABOUT ME

Generally I'm very laid back and flexible.. I like to keep myself busy working on my projects or travelling. I am immensely curious about the world and culture, and have trouble keeping all of my hobbies and interests in line.
I graduated art school a couple of years ago, and have been taking some time to figure out what I want to do with life and art and the other important things that go along with it. My time gets used up quickly because I have many interests/hobbies including... guitar/singing, drawing, painting, sculpture, robotics, and cooking. Not to mention my job, I work in a restaurant that prepares delicious food from local farmers goods.

PHILOSOPHY

I suppose the best way to sum it up, is that i try to live in a way, that if i die tomarrow, I won't be disapointed with what i've done or seen in my life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a couple times, I wish I had the chance to do it more often, and I have had excellent experiences with hosts who have taken me in in the past.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled around europe a little bit with couchsurfing and hospitality club , which is basically the same. Every experience i had was quite good, and I think i've made some really good freinds

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

it's hard to pick one thing... I worked for 2 years building a robot that made it rain sewing needles.

Teach, Learn, Share

i enjoy cooking and experimenting with food, and a little cocktailing, so i could teach either to someone.
i would love to teach someone to draw or paint
I would be happy to teach some language.
I could teach someone a little chess, if they are a begginner
I could teach someone guitar, if i happen to have mine with me.
