If you'd ask me now what my purpose of existence is, I'd say to compose and write music. But after my studies of Eurhythmics - music and movement (dance) in Berlin I realised music is more than just its written form. It lives, moves, and breathes the same like the humans that produce and tune into it. I incorporate this into my art and my pedagogy.

Luckily these are the things I enjoy most; To make music and to move - naturally, this includes social interaction. Usually, I travel with my recorders (flauta dulce, Blockflöte). Always ready for some busking. I used to live that way for several years. I lived in Uruguay and tried to use platforms like Couchsurfing to find hosts, but soon I found out that this way of living and getting to know people and hosting is already incorporated into their culture, so after some time I didn't need to use the internet any longer.

I think by living and traveling in South America, among other things, I've learned the mochilero / backpacker spirit. I am very familiar with the perks of being hosted, getting to know strangers and being sensitive to someones needs.
I used to live in a big flatshare, resolving conflicts together and I am familiar with non-violent communication.

By the way. Don't fool yourself into thinking I am messy because of that one review I got nine years ago. I'm pretty much the opposite of that now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to broaden my horizons, physically and mentally.

Also - learning languages. I LOVE languages

Interests

To be interested is one thing
To be engaged in doing it
To live it, that's it.

It's easy to be interested in music, but I really want to know how music works. What do you have to play, listen to or combine with it to have a certain effect. After all the question of my studies is: "What is music capable of? Can it transform your soul? Can it start a war? Can it stop one?"
