I try to merge my thoughtful mind with my easy going attitude but eventually I realize that I do things mostly by instinct.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had only great experiences except one...when we meet I will tell you about it :)

Interests

I love music, I play several string instruments.
During my last trip around Asia, I was particularly touched by middle eastern music.
Im attracted by gypsy music and every kind of autonomous-spontaneous way to express sonority.

I love travelling, after few years travelling/working in western Europe I started a long trip to Asia. I stayed 1 month in turkey, 3 months in Iran where I got into persian music and learned how to make a persian setar, 3 months around syria,jordan, lebanon and Armenia, 5 weeks in India,2 weeks in Nepal, 6 months in Japan, 6 years in China.
I love cinema, more about its visual art potential than about enterteinment.

I love volunteering, I joined many NGOs doing different kind of projects and now I would like to get into music therapy for mentally disables, any feedback on that is very welcome.
