About Me

Two of my passions are music and looking at maps, making travel plans!

I like to discover new places through music, and love checking out what the local nature has to offer.

The last years, the eastern parts of Europe have been my top destination. On and off, I studied/study Russian, which is a great way for me to combine my language/travelling interests.

I play the bass guitar in a couple of bands, and have made a couple of attempts at recording my own music.

Other things I like are coffee, running, vinyl records and Trivial Pursuit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great way to make friends and explore new places. I enjoy showing my hometown to a stranger, and in the process, also getting a stranger's opinion about it. I have both hosted and surfed, and I like both.
