ABOUT ME

I'm a professional pianist, I perform on a regular basis, I'm a piano teacher and I have a youtube and tiktok channel mainly about pianolessons. (you can find me as 'PianoAlbert' one word). People call me the great friendly giant because I'm quite tall. I have 2 daughters who are 2 and 4 years old and they are the most important thing in my life. Half of the the time they stay with their mother, we are no longer together.

I do speak German, Spanish and Portuguese well enough to hold a bit of a conversation and give directions ;).

Ola soy Albert y puedo hablo espanol (basico) .
Tudo bom, posso falar portugeus (basico) tam bem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was 18 and 19 I traveled the world for 2 years and used couchsurfing quite a lot. I think I slept at over a dozen couches and I always wanted to pay back the community. Now I'm 34, and I actually have a spare bed in my studio, and a couch in my living room that I'm willing to share with the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a couchsurfer since 2006. I must have couchsurfed with more then 20 people. I went to quite a lot of meetings so.. quite a bit of experience with couchsurfing. I only hosted a view times tho. I must say it has been a while. My couch has not been open for years because of my kids and my ex...

Interests

I love music, I have a studio in my attic where I sometimes write songs and record stuff. I mostly create content there and I like video editting, chatgpt and stuff like that.
I just went to a big Event called UPW, unleash the power within, by Tony Robins. It changed my life. It mainly gave me more energy and a sense of purpous. Which is now taking care of my body by eating extremly healthy. No suger, no coffee, no meat, and 70% vegitables. I exersize quite a lot and I do a couple of other things like breathing exersizes and guided meditations. I'm in deep :). It really helps me.
Other interests are
Basketball, Kickboxing, mma, swimming, Traveling and meeting new people.
working with nature; reforestation, CO2 storage, Permaculture, business, building websites, coding (html, css, javascript), game creation (unity) entrepeneurship, marketing and time management.
