I laugh a lot and quite loudly, it's one of the many things in life I can't control :) Most of my life I've been surrounded by arts- been studying classical piano for years, later went being a backstage person and launched my organisation Art Vanguard where I'm now curating cross-discipline art projects and festivals. I also teach kids to play piano and they are my bundles of joy :)

On bus drives I read books, on rainy days I watch films, on sunny ones I go for hikes and walks. I love my community of people- they are the most kind, loose, passionate, intelligent, burning souls I know and I'm grateful to be surrounded by them.

I've recently started making a photo album (with real printed pictures, crazy, I know!) and am collecting adventures and moments to go into those pages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been couchsurfing when hitchhiking around Scandinavia a few years back and had one year of hosting people from places in our spare room. I believe this platform is for adventure seekers and those who love to meet, share, exchange whatever they have got on them. I deeply believe that's how things should work!

Interests

I play keys in a band with a resident composer, performing new music inspired by Antarctica's landscapes.

I'm an enthusiast of photography, love doing both organised shoots of artists and taking up my camera on random city/nature walks.

I love sharing food with people. Have a vegan flatmate, so my goal at the minute is to learn at least 5 awesome amazing vegan recipes I would love to cook for her!
