Music, Movies, and Books
Too many to mention. At the moment reading 'Russendisko' by Wladimir Kaminer. I researched Fatih Akin films for my thesis and I'm looking forward to 'The Cut'. Yesterday I listened to Carole King. Brilliant songwriter. My last song was about a dog in Amsterdam. I wonder what the next one will be.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Busking at Bergen fish market, Norway. Concert on bicycles in Arhus, Denmark. Gigs in Gent, Belgium and Lille, France. Island hopping in Okinawa. Scuba diving in Palawan, The Philippines. Walking around the hills at El Chorro in Andalucía... The old city of Ronda. The Camino de Santiago from St Jean Pied-de-Port to Muxia and Finisterre.
Teach, Learn, Share
I majored in jazz guitar, German, French and Japanese. I also took a minor in Spanish and studied Dutch in Holland at night school. 2012-13 I taught English and Spanish in Spain. At the moment I'm touring the world by bicycle and playing music on the way. I love to share languages and music.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am very enthusiastic about music and languages. I can cook, clean, play guitar and sing with you or for you :)
