About Me

I am a 23 year old singer/songwriter and busker. Music is most of what I am doing right now. I've been studying music in Cottbus (Germany) for the last 3 years. And in October I am going to study jazz singing in Weimar (Germany). I want to use the time until then to meet new people and try to busk in different cities. I'll start in Germany and see where it takes me.

I would love to jam with my hosts, cook, go for walks, visit some jazz bars and talk about all kind of things from music to travelling or philosophy. My other biggest passion besides music is writing poems and songs in German. I find joy in exploring and experimenting with different aspects of it: rhythms, rhymes, vowel sounds or wordplay. I meditate, do yoga and walk alot ^^. I used to love dancing tango argentino, but had to stop due to there being no scene in Cottbus.

I love discovering new stuff. Be it languages, people, places, skills or experiences. At the same time rather than feeling at home I feel uncomfortable walking the same street a 1000th time. So I'd love to make travelling my permanent way of life once my education is done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to busk, travel, meet new people and jam with some of them.

I think that people are the most interesting part about travelling. If you were to stay in a hotel with your family not much would be different from home, except the landscape and the weather.

Interests

I play guitar, a little bit piano and I sing. I like to be outside, walk, dance, talk with people and travel. And I also play chess.
