About Me

I recently finished my studies and moved back from Italy to Germany, before that I lived in Campobasso, a small town in the mountains. I had the chance to study Opera singing. So here I was, singing and loving Italian life!

Above all I love music, next to literature. I'm the singer in a quite new and unknown Jazzband and I was conducting Two choirs back in Germany. Right now I am hoping to find something similar here. So if you love that join me! Besides filling my life with music and funny and lovable people I hope to find a nice job here so I can go to travel again in summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of Couchsurfing very much. Getting to know new people, share ineterests, nice new ideas and perspectives, and of course a place to sleep. Plus I think that's the best way to get to know fascinating places in town, where to hang out, where you can have fun, what you should see. Maybe cook together while having amusing conversations. And giving all of this back by hosting visitors yourself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jazz and Blues, Folk, Funk, Indie, souls and Disco, Cumbia, sometimes a bit of old school HipHop. I like Artists like Hiatus Kaiyote, Tom Waits, Bajka, Beirut, Fink, The Beatles, Efterklang, Bonobo, James Blake, Radiohead.. And I adore (and practice a lot) the so called classic music. Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Tschaikowsky, Dvorak, Händel and many more. Especially the vocal pieces. I also love the new style of arranging for choir from scandinavia: Ola Gjeilo, Arvo Pärt and Morten Lauridsen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if you can say that this is amazing, but me and a friend built out of a loose group of people who love to sing a well etablated and good sounding vocal ensemble that's also behaving like a group of friends. Simply love this!

Teach, Learn, Share

the german language, if you'd like to get to know a few words also i love to learn new languages, so if you can teach me a bit of yours it would be much appreciated. I can also teach you a bit of singing, if you’d like to get to know some classic techniques or improve your voice in some way

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice vegetarian or vegan dinner, some bonfire-like guitar and singing evenings, laughing
