COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Im a person who listen to music, alot. Through music I explore dance, which is a great passion!! I explore the possibilities of dance mainly through contact improvisation. Before discovering CI I did some ballet, jazz, folk, modern, contempory and still do it from time to time.
I also enjoys sports, but don't do it as much any more.
Love writing, mostly for the joy of it. For periods of time a read alot, since litterature is one of my main sources of inspiration.

I have been involved in orginizing various nonprofit projects. Usally surrounding dance and theatre. I love to work with people in free and creative curcumstances.

Making and repairing violins is maybe one of my little more unusual things I got into. Some day I will start making them again!

I have an interest in cinema.
I enjoy movies from different decades and cultures ofcause. I enjoy independet films, like the films of Cassavetes. The film of Bergman i watch alot in my younger years. Tarkovsky is one of my favorite filmmakes, among many others.

I listen alot to musik and always appriciate new influences. Therefor it's hard to say what I listen to but singer/songwriters from the 60s and 70s are common.
I like Dylan, Donovan, Adrew Bird, Dire Straits, early works of Stevie Wonder, Al Stewart, Jonny Cash, The Tiny, Tom Waits, Nina Simone, Beatles, Edward Sharpe aTMZ, CallmeKat, Jane Birkin, PJ Harvey, Fleetwood foxes and the tallest man on earth to name a few

I read in time-clusters. Last book I read was Patti Smiths "Just kids". Like it!
