I can show you some alternative and underground places in Leipzig.
I make music, nowadays oriental/electronic/jazz, you can check some stuff on my website: https://www.raduvarga.com

My left brain tells me do do computer programs and geeky stuff, while my right side drags me to play music and do artsy stuff. I don't know which side I am on most of the times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting and surfing and beering.

Interests

I do a mix between order and chaos.
Some of the things that I could be doing right now:
- playing music
- going to concerts/festivals
- watching an arthouse movie
- making jokes
- hiking
- roaming around the streets
- talking about meaning
- volunteering
- clubbing (less these days)
- geeking stuff on my computer
- reading
- taking photos
- playing chess
- sneaking into abandoned buildings

I have studied classical guitar for some years; and I've studying a bit of jazz and improvised music, at the moment I am learning classical persian and turkish music.

I also have an amateur interest in film photography.
