CURRENT MISSION

I'm a guitarist/singer, doing street music for some months

ABOUT ME

I'm a big music and film buff. I started playing the guitar at the age of 14, and since then i had a lot of experiences with several bands and projects. For some years i teached guitar students at my place. In my last band i also started singing and wrote many songs. It's quite difficult to make a living only with music, that's why i have to work part-time as an administrator to get some extra money. Still i think it's very important to follow your heart even if it's not the way of save money. And in my case my heart tells me: "Play some music!"
I'm friendly and folksy, i like to talk about many things. Maybe i'm a bit shy, because i just started with the couchsurfing experience.

PHILOSOPHY

- follow your heart and your feelings (or at least try it)
- respect everyone
- the way i send things out, is the way things come back to me
- all you need is love
