Hello

My name is Henri, I am currently travelling around Morocco and Spain, working on documentary film projects with my friend Mark. I've studied art history and philosophy at University of Tartu, but for the past 2 years I have been working on various art projects in and out of Estonia, including exhibitions, festivals, performances and bands. I play violin and bass guitar, currently in my band ants1, but also elsewhere. My biggest passion is cinema and for the last year I worked in the oldest art-house cinema in Estonia as a projectionist. I have been a part of different film festivals, the last of which was Marrakech Film Festival. I love to listen to music, watch films and engage in interesting conversations with like-minded people. As of now, me and my friend are looking for people who could host us and show us around the city and to possibly help us with our film projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to find like-minded people to exchange ideas and experiences with. I find that the best way to explore new places is together with locals. Also free accommodation, not gonna lie :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take you to a tour in a museum, show you great films and music, play you the violin (if you have one on you).

Mark is also fluent in Spanish, French and English, so he could teach any of these languages.

We are also travelling with professional video and sound equipment, which would be available for you and we would love to help you create anything you need.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My video and sound equipment and all the love I have to give (which is not a lot).
