CURRENT MISSION

Seeing, wondering, understanding...forgetting, to see fresh again

ABOUT ME

I'm working as photographer, tour guide, storyteller and writer and curate and organize art and photography shows (used to teach yoga, used to paint, did a comic...) - but actually all I REALLY do is to travel and to want to travel (and the wanting part is hard, let me tell you...). I am interested in people, how everyone deals with their lives and lots, in art and culture, religion and myth, in silence and words...I can be silent as anything, but also unexpectedly outgoing. I like all sorts of movement, martial arts (internal and external), dances - film and photography - I have a deep interest in myth and anthropology. Generally, I think, people take me for much less silly and crazy than I am but I have also had my share of hardships (say, living with barely any money for a year or two) which keep me firmly on the ground at all time. Life should be lived, by each and everyone, in the way only they can live it.

PHILOSOPHY

There is enough harm and stress in life - no need to add to it by your own actions. I try to give value and importance to the things I deal with and the people I meet. The way I see it, one shouldn't waste one's life with things one cannot love or cannot be involved in.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Quite a bit by now - from staying in a squat to really luxurious apartments...all of them interesting, rewarding and unique.

兴趣

Photography, travel writing, learning to love and to accept...simple stuff...meeting people I like and discovering what is pleasurable or good or fun, getting to know the light and dark sides of the world, understanding the person opposite of me...well, I also like biking, standing on my head and dreaming.

教，学，和分享

I can teach yoga, meditational techiques, breathing techniques, cooking (mainly Asian fusion), the fine art of translating ;), creative writing, shamanic techniques

I'm learning guitar right now, so if anyone can teach me I'd be happy - also languages, all languages, teach me your personal tales, myths and songs...
