ABOUT ME

I'm a globetrotting journalist, (street) musician, and English teacher.

Ten years ago when I was playing all over Europe with empty pockets and a little amplifier, CS helped me out many times. When I was back at home and settled with an apartment, I became a full-time host :-) I think my record was 8 surfers in one week. Gotta give back to the community!

Nowadays I play about 100 concerts per year, but I still play on the street whenever I travel: it keeps me in shape, and it always leads to interesting situations and conversations.
