Im a 35 year old musician and music teacher, and at the moment I primarily teach kids and teenagers the piano, the guitar and singing.

The meaning of life:
Music, strawberries, ice cream, swimming, being outdoors, riding my bike, learning new things, having good conversations, laughing with people, good coffee, ice cold beer, my family and friends, good books!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been couchsurfing earlier with my sister, mostly in Italy during the summer, but Im going to Austin (Texas) this spring (hopefully from March - May 2017) and I hope to meet a lot of interesting people on the way.

Im going there to find inspiration to write new music, and because I LOVE Austin. I was there in 2011, and fell in love with the city! :-)
