Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My travels bring me through many countries and I often look for a place to sleep here and there. Also, being very curious and social, I really like to meet new people and discover their way of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Scandinavian folk music : Hedningarna, Gjallarhorn, Värttinä, Väsen, Garmarna, Fru Skagerrak, Trio Törn, Erlend Viken, Dreamers' Circus... Also celtic and european folk in general : Stille Volk, Naragonia, Dervish, Altan, String Sisters... And many things from Balkans, especially bulgarian, and the wonderful Laboratorium Piesni. Folk music from all over the world interests me too, I just know it less - but I'm eager to discover !
Also nothing against rock, metal and punk, in many styles ! Quiet songs and ambient music I also appreciate.

Movies : pretty much all kinds.

Books : many. I love to read (hide your books at your place or I'll read as soon as you're not looking). Fantasy especially, but also kindof everything. At the moment I am especially fond of children books from other cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying in Sweden on an island in the middle of a lake, taking care of sheep during a month. Picking up berries on a nearby mountain normally full of bears ! Didn't see any - which is good, but also a bit disappointing in some way, isn't it ?

Teach, Learn, Share

Happily teaching : languages, music, dancing (folk), textile work, gardening / agriculture ideas...

Gladly learning : more languages, recipes, more textile work, woodworking, more music...
