Music, Movies, and Books

The book which made me want to live in Santiago was Tengo Miedo Torero.
My favourite music genres at the moment are funk, psychedelic rock, synthwave, jazz, and disco.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My fondest Couchsurfing memory is a spontaneous one day road trip around Tromsø, Norway with other travellers. There was a bit of a snowstorm that led us to take refuge in a cosy church, where we played piano and sang until the storm calmed down. The 5 of us were all from different continents, we overcame language barriers, shared food and music, and at the end of a long day, we made a campfire in the snow and looked at the northern lights together.
