Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You cannot reach the core of a country, city, community or simply a person being just a tourist. It's necessary to share quality time in the real life, not in that thing made for tourists...the tourist-matrix hehehe

Interests

Music in all its forms. I like specially the one connected to traditions, rituals, festivities, parties...ok ok then all the music.
I'm specialised in folk music and I'm in search of the state of art of the folklore in different countries; is it alive? Did it die? Why?!?
Understanding the existence or absence of traditions we understand better how people live and change, cool eh?
