I consider music as an international language and like to share my musical intests with all people in the world. I play banjo and guitar ande to jam and to make music. I am also a board game maniac and love to play any kind of game.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is how I want to travel. I am not interested in shiny places nor do I make a lot of photos. What I want to know is how people live, what their all day life is like, how they spend their freetime, what their motivation in life is.

Couchsurfing is NOT a private hostel and I will respect your home as if it was my own. I know we have to arrange things with your daily schedule so I do not expect you to adapt to my travel plans.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In August 2011 I was hosted by exceptionally generous couchsurfers in Bologna. They helped me a lot while I was looking for a flat in Bologna - they made the first calls for me because my Italian wasn't that good back then. They even let me stay in their flat even though they had to leave for e few days. From this first experience on I loved CS!

In 2012 I went to Naples and its islands. My host on Procida introduced me to his family and made me feel at home. We made a boat trip around the island. Awesome!

People in South America are so friendly! I was very thankful for the hospitality of my many hosts there.
