I'm originally from Germany, but have been living in Barcelona, Spain for the last 12 years. I‘m a linguist/translator and have mostly been working in office jobs over the last few years, which is sth I get tired of again and again.. so I have a pattern of quitting my job to take some time for myself and personal projects (music, traveling..) before running out of money and eventually going back to another boring job ;) - you can probably tell I haven’t figured out just yet how to live my life, but that’s okay.

I’m an introvert at heart and a bit shy at first, but I do love meeting new people from all paths of life and really appreciate connections of any kind - I hate small talk though so maybe let’s try to skip that?;)

Right now I’m again between jobs and focusing on music, I got back into playing the violin a couple of years ago (thanks Covid!) and now spend most of my time sharing music with people, busking on the streets of Barcelona or joining jam sessions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Quite a long time ago, my room mates and I would host people in Barcelona which we really enjoyed. Some of my first and best Barcelona memories are from that time.
I haven't had the chance to be a host since then and haven't travelled using cs either, but now I'm back and ready to give it another try! ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

My roots are in classical music which I still really enjoy.. need some Bach/Beethoven/Brahms once in a while.
At this point though I'm all over the place and like pretty much everything.. Pop/Indie/Rock/Reggae/Ska/Hip Hop/Electro.
Over the last two years I’ve also been getting more into Latin American music, can’t believe what I had been missing out on before!

I don't read as much as I would like to.. adult life you know. Somehow I do find time for Netflix and chill.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Existing

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I know some stuff but not sure I can teach any of it.. will see.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The only thing I can really offer is being open-minded and respectful.. I like good talks and music (like most people I guess).
