About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Musician. Just musician.

ABOUT ME

More than half of my short life I have been playing music. It's not the aim (or it wasn't the aim in the beginning?) - but it is just difficult for me to survive without music. I'm always happy to share that feeling and tell you anything I know about it.
I'm quite introverted but easy-going. My mind is opened to crazy ideas.
Your demand in silence is held in respect.

PHILOSOPHY

Patience and humility!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For this moment it's quite complicated to host anyone at our flat which we share with my fiancé, but I enjoy showing the city - don't hesitate to ask!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed just twice - but it was so exciting! I was very lucky with my first hosts and we became friends. Also a second experience was nice and easy. So no victims:)

Interests

music, old churches, teology, fine arts (I'm a noob but I still love art), chant, travelling, dancing, books, cities, coffee, conversations, to bake, to walk, to discover.
The order isn't really important :)

  • arts
  • humanities
  • books
  • singing
  • dancing
  • cooking
  • coffee
  • traveling
  • music
  • guitar
  • piano

Music, Movies, and Books

I was not very interested in movies before - but I enjoy watching it really much. So just be merciful to my poor knowledge. However, Kusturitsa's movies are my passion.
I love reading! For a while I didn't have to travel every day on a public transport so finding time and silence for reading can be a challenge. But it's always worth finding.
My flat is always filled with different books. I prefer classic literature, poetry, any kind of linguistic literature and, of course, any literature about music.
Music - classical, avant-garde, folk, rock, rock-and-roll etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With my mother we taught my granny how to walk after a serious stroke.
I'm really happy for now she feels better!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you ask about real teaching - I'll tell many tales about organ with pleasure!
Folk dances are part of my life and I can help you with some of Breton origin.

I think we can learn something every moment of our life - only wish is required. So I'm ready to share and appreciate.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can wash your dishes! :D
It's also a pleasure to cook, but I wouldn't claim I'm a maestro of the kitchen. So it's on demand.
I'm totally ok with arranging my meal myself - or we can share the costs, if you want.
And if you like, I'll play or sing for you (piano, accordion, recorder or some guitar basics).
