About Me

CURRENT MISSION

busking the U.S.A

ABOUT ME

I am a musician from Vienna, Austria!
I'm a singer, violinist, guitarist and pianist on my currrent streetmusic-trip through the U.S. I've spent the last six weeks in New York, CT and MA and am now in California - man, it's freezing down here!!
I make my living out of music. i wrote music for theater, worked on a cruise ship as a musician, did streetmusic all over europe and recently central park, played on weddings and jammed with excons - all fine with me, as long as it's music!

PHILOSOPHY

No matter what it takes to get there - i want to be happy.
Travelling, meeting new people and making music on the streets is what really satisfies me at the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am travelling and I'm dependent on the hosptality of all the couch-hosts of america. But as soon as i'm back in Autria, I will hot all of you guys, yeah!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

well, so far I've surfed only one couch - for about a month!! Stunning hospitality of the most lovely person in the world! Don't worry guys, i know this is an exception from the rule, haha!!

Interests

Seriously, if I could afford it, I'd be travelling all the time! I have seen such amazing places (India, Malaysia, Europe, America) and made such great experiences, learned so much about foreign culture und behaviour and widened my narrow european sight! Incredible!
