About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Spain. Learning Bulgarian folk accordion and singing.

ABOUT ME

Positive. A little bit too interested in music. Don't like the 24-hour-system because I would like to have more time for everything: friends, music, dancing, studying. I'm studying linguistics and music and spend the rest of the time singing, playing, dancing and eating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met many ridiculously wonderful people this way, hosting and sharing. And learned so much. And saved so much money.

Interests

Practising music, playing, singing, listening to music, dancing, laughing, improvising music and theatre, discussing, dreaming, cooking, hugging, learning, thinking, eating, learning new languages, contact impro, lindy hop

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing with the finnish accordionist Maria Kalaniemi, a great idol in a cottage in the northern part of Sweden.
Sitting in a bar with a couch surfer listening to his friends beautiful flamenco music in Granada.
Watching the evening light and the beautiful view from a bus on the way to a cuban village - not knowing what would be there, what would happen - but strangely confident in that everything would be just fine. And well, it really were!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got quite a lot of tunes to share.

I'm dancing lindy hop and are happy to teach what I can and dance. Basic swedish folk dance.

Improvise dance and music, is something I totally love, and love to do together with people.

Love to discuss language; grammatics and phonetics. Like to cook.
