ABOUT ME
I'm from Germany but have been living in New York for the last 8 years as a musician (flamenco guitar, jazz and lots of other stuff). I try to not participate too much in this insanity of consumerism/capitalism but I also know that this is the world I'm living and working in. One day I want to live in Spain and have my farm.
I'm rather quiet but not shy and i love thought provoking conversations, trusting someone else, sharing your struggles and passions - just feeling alive by connecting to humanity through individuals and reaching a point beyond small talk. For me music, or art in general is another means to connect with humanity and when I perform this is my main goal.
PHILOSOPHY
"Je comprends ici ce qu'on appelle gloire le droit d'aimer sans mesure" - Albert Camus

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couchsurfed many times in Spain and my wife and me hosted many people from all over the world in our house in Brooklyn. Its truly a beautiful thing. In my social and professional life I'm always surrounded by artists and very like minded people. But I had some really great CS encounters with people from very different traits of life, beautiful people that I probably never would have met if it wasn't for the need of a couch.
Interessi

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto
At the age of 12 I saw Paul McCartney live in concert, I decided I wanted to be a musician and now its the way i earn my living. With 19 years I came to New York for the first time and decided I would live there one day. Its been 8 years now since I moved to Brooklyn. Sometimes I can't believe how things manifest themselfes but I think they really do if something is important enough for you.
