Hi I‘m Jonas originally from Munich (Germany), currently living in Porto (Portugal). While I enjoy travelling, I consider it a huge privilege and I try to treat the locals of my destinations with sociological curiosity and respect. If you feel and act the same we will have a great time together 🙌🏼

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

As a violinist being new in Porto, I‘m looking for mates to play Balkan & Irish Folk music together! Other than that I enjoy every kind of Soul music, but my heart especially beats for Tropicália (Viva a revolução!)

Also a current challenge: Trying to get better in Sound Design with the goal to release my own Ambient and Broken Techno tracks soon :)

Movies: Love the vibe of 90s thrillers. My all time favourite is La Haine (1995) by Mathieu Kassovitz

Book: Erving Goofmans „The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life“

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Don‘t judge people by your first impression! When you get to know people and listen kindly to their story, you can learn something from them, even if it‘s the harshest homeless guy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to sing and try out music instruments so let‘s have a little jam together!
