Hi!
I'm a musician, playing guitar and a bit of trombone and drums in styles of traditional jazz and rock, which seems to be my main occupation in time.
However, I'm doing a PhD project in mechanics as well.

I'm hope to be a kinda open minded guy.
I love to meet people and chat about music and the life, travels and everything.
I tend to play on the streets with my friends, to party and to practise!
And yes, I love to eat and drink tasty ;)

Right now I'm about to travel with my new trad jazz trio - Cole's Half Band!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

lack for travaling
it's been a long time since i've experienced couchsurfing, but now I'm back into it ;)
