I am a musician living in Vienna, Austria. I play piano and have a small recording studio here. I think I'm an easy-going type, but with a lot of energy for exploring and taking in new experiences. I get on well with people who think outside the box and do things their own way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

...to discover new places - the real parts which I wouldn't find as a tourist alone in a new place. I'm happy to help anyone do the same when they visit me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked as a teacher of English and Music for most of my life and can gladly share with anyone interested.
