Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music depending on the mood and situation. My preferred genres are electronic music, reggae, funk, chill, country, meditative, ambient, deep house… 🌈

Dance music 🪩

+ live music in parks and festivals ( WOMAD for example) for local and international bands. 🪘

world music and instrumental 🎶

I used to watch a lot more movies but not much now. I enjoy almost all types, but not horrors.
Emily, Heidi, kiterunner, Coco, Willhunter, oneday, that type of heart touching movie were probably my fav? On the other hand, I love watching thrillers too.
