About Me

(EN)

First time on couchsurfing.

I value respect and consider myself a very flexible person; if you prefer silence or a conversation with music, we can adapt to sharing a space. I have some guitars and other musical instruments. I love learning new things and spending time in nature.

Erstes Mal auf Couchsurfing.

Ich schätze Respekt und betrachte mich als eine sehr flexible Person; wenn du lieber Stille oder ein Gespräch mit Musik möchtest, können wir uns an das Teilen eines Raums anpassen. Ich habe mehrere Gitarren und einige Musikinstrumente. Ich liebe es, neue Dinge zu lernen und die Natur zu genießen.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy many styles: rock and blues, some with funky vibes. I also like progressive rock and other music with odd meters. Nostalgic folk music, such as Nick Drake or soft ballads from Jeff Buckley, are also among my favorites. I enjoy electronic experimental music like Alva Noto with Sakamoto or the inspirational style of Nils Frahm. I appreciate simple, minimalist music when I read, such as Philip Glass or the calming ambient music of Brian Eno.

When I need to connect with myself, I listen to meditative songs by Lisa Gerrard, as her voice takes me far away from my mind and more into my heart.

Although, for some reason, I don't watch many movies, I do love soundtracks, such as Gustavo Santaolalla when he works on Iñárritu’s films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just being in nature, close to water and sunlight. That's when I feel alive.
