CURRENT MISSION

Learn and experience as much as possible, always looking for new crazy and interesting things to get myself into.

ABOUT ME
-Sorry I wasn't really born in 1940... but I put it there so I know you read my profile/don't discriminate based on age.

I have previously lived in factories and collectives with a bunch of hippies and punks through my teenage years.
I am however house broken and can adapt quiet quickly to domestic rules.

Been living in Australia for the past few years while studying Neurophysiology at the ANU.

Currently moving around the world, went back to my home town for a few months and worked as a jolly for a publishing company, maintaing a sales website, doing some graphic design work to advertise books, sold books, interviewed authors, filmed and film editing.

I love to wrestle and used to compete though I haven't participated in a formal match in too long.
I really enjoy playing music, writing my own songs, learning new things and exchanging languages.

Looking forward to get to know you, and may I wish you a very nice day.

PHILOSOPHY

There is still a lot left to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host whenever I can, travel as much as I can, love to show people around whichever city I happen to reside in at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been giving me loads of wonderful experiences though I have to agree with those who believe a larger network has come at the cost of the ability to trust and rely on one another.

Interests

Sight seeing, adventures, squatting, making friends.

Combat sports, music, musical instruments, musical people.
Hiking, climbing, squatting, surfing, busking, hitch hiking, playing music, telling jokes, telling stories, listening to stories and jokes.
Cards, movies, dice, board games, riddles, puzzles...

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be more than glad to share whatever knowledge I may have on languages, neuroscience, music and combat sports.
Also: squatting, hitch hiking, dumpster diving, tours through whatever city I might be living in at the moment.

I would love to learn anything you'd be willing to share.
Especially if you're strong on any of my weak languages or speak one I'd be willing to learn
(At the moment I am really interested in Russian, Hindi and Arabic).
