About Me

I am Leipzig-based,
I am lucky to be able to freely choose the town I live in because I am self employed.. i dont actually work there, its where I Iive.. Leipzig is beautiful, green, lots of culture, music scene..pretty interesting, especially in spring and summer. thats why I moved there, mostly for the music and artsy parts..

As a tour guide and festival worker I spend a good amount of the year in several European countries.. For instance Scandinavia, Poland and the Baltics, France, Italy.
Also I work on music festivals, which brings me to different German cities. I love the concept of reconciling travels and work..
When Im in Leipzig, writing and teaching guitar/bass/ music production is another source of income..
Im happy to spend the rest of 2019 in Canada...aaalways wanted to go there, and finally Im doing it:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

punk/blues were a major influence, I loved to listen to it and play it.. the older I get, the less punk I listen..
experimental stuff
wave, 80s, italo disco
but Im trying to get to know other genres, especially the ones I assume to dislike (maybe I just havent listed to enough songs to make a judgement), that would be reggae and everything connected to it, like raggaton, jungle..
just a few bands:
iggy pop,the cure,mouse on mars,the notwist,david bowie,,the early beegees (why not?),motörhead,air,chopin,NDW,d.a.f

Teach, Learn, Share

i play guitar/bass/keys and can share
i know some magic tricks
I want to improve my language skills in any language..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to share generally.. everything..
i often dont feel comfortable around stingy people.. thats a thing I can definitely say..
