About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a guitar player so very much interested in all kinds of music

PHILOSOPHY

I am very sensitive though I often hide it. I'm a bit shy too but I overcame this problem. And another problem that brought me into trouble already I never lie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I didn't have any experiences at all.

Interests

music, languages, history, books in general, travel; and in my professional life during the last 8 years I did some European projects with Poland, Germany, Austria, Spain, Finland, and now I'm occupying myself starting up a new one before the very near deadline

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer European movies to the general American ones, though of course there are exceptions. And in other parts of the world they make nice movies too, seldom to see on tv and certainly not in prime time. One favourite? Urga.
Books? a lot, Annie Proulx for instance, Haruki Murakami of course, Ian McEwan, Carlos Ruiz Zafón,
Music: all kinds of music, dylan of course, blues, folk, flamenco, latin american, to much to mention

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching all these years boys and girls with behavioural and other mental problems, I wouldn't recommend it to others

Teach, Learn, Share

A bit of guitar playing, and too little about almost everything, just enough to have a conversation about almost everything, but not enough to win a quiz. Maybe a bit of history too and planning to learn more about this lovely city I'm living in now, since my nearly recent divorce.
