About Me

I am a musician, playing classical guitar since 8 Y.O. but my main occupation is journalism, as it seems to provide a more stable income, and laso involves creativity. I play many styles from funk to metal, and I love breakbeat and hip hop too, and produce music in my little MacBook.

I love to travel, I have lived in the US for half a year, and I've spent winters in Thailand, which is my love too. And I often come to Germany, where I'm doing some startup business (which is probably boring to tell abou here).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently learning German, and therefor living with someone speaking German (as Germany is my main Couchsurfing destination) makes much more sense to me than sitting in a hotel room. And I am always eager to go out which is much more effective and when accompanied by a local, right?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a show, where foreign rock and rap stars watch weird Russian music videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_Q8UHQ8_88

Teach, Learn, Share

I''m not sure what it means but I'll say "Yes" just in case ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some music composing and production skills in Cubase,
Guitar playing.
Also, I'm the right person to have a drink or smoke with in front of a TV with some Pink Floyd concert.

And - believe it or not - I know some guys running really cool and hard-to-enter places in Berlin, so I can get you in if you are interested.
