I am a freelance musician from Hamburg, Germany. I make my living with playing gigs, composing music and teaching instruments to little kids. But thanks to my job, I am quite flexible so I try to travel as often as I can afford it .

I would describe myself as an openminded and uncomplicated person. Sometimes I am full of energy and sometimes I just love to hang around and chill out.

Just that you know, that I don't have any expectations towards you, while I am staying with you. You don't have to be my entertainer at all. But if you like to do something together, either if its going out to see something or just to hang out some time to have some food and drinks and chat together I am always very happy!

Looking really forward to get to know you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know new people all over the world. It's so interesting to meet people with all different kinds of background. I think we can always learn a lot from each other and and share our experiences!
