About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I travelled through Latino America, from Argentina until the U.S.. I met great people with great stories on my path, and was welcomed by lovely people into their home via couchsurfing, so now I'd like to give it back. I love meeting people from all walks of life. And my biggest passion is of course music, which I love to share with people.

As a musician who loves doing living room concerts, I started the following group:

Anyone looking for a band to play in their living room or any musician looking for a living room to play in: feel free to join and browse around.

ABOUT ME

I smile, sing and talk to people whenever I can. But I can quietly withdraw too and ponder serious stuff. I think being open and understanding and respectful is very important. I'm a creative person, and love sharing knowledge, music, food and other good experiences with others.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want something in life, you have to go and get it yourself, but no (wo)man's an island, so ask people for help when you need it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

As a psychologist I think a lot about human behavior, which also includes my own behavior. I like debating about issues in society, politics and philosophy. In a good dialogue, I hope to give just as much inspiration as that I receive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my energy, my travel experiences, my views of the world, and most of all music. I'm always up for a jam or playing a song.
