About Me

I used to work as a mechanical engineer. Now I’m studying jazz in New York Jazz Academy and studying English and following my dreams.

When I’m not wrapped up in work, you can find me while playing music on subway. I am also a lindy hopper. dancing east coast swing.

My dream is to live and to be a member of a dixieland band in New Orleans one day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
