About Me

I'm a school graduate who was born and raised in Bitola (MKD), Hamburg (GER) and Heidelberg (GER). Since I am 5 yrs old, I have a passion: Music. I started to play piano and the trumpet ,as a secondary instrument, joined very fast. At certain point I started to get interested in composing music; coming from this interest, I developed the idea of going to latinamerica because of the fabulous art of composition in that country.
So my general motivation is music and culture, but since I'm already there, why not see as much as you can see. I am open to new mentalities, cultures and would certainly take the chance if someone offered me the option of getting a little bit closer to the mative habitants throughout my 10month trip all over latinamerica.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard many good things of couchsurfing and a friend who did more or less the same trip recommended it to me. I would love to meet new people and rather get a little closer to the 'real' southamerican life than going to a hotel, where basically one is obligated to live like a tourist. I hate commercialism and love individual contact where no limits are granted.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to teach languages, music and music theory aswell. It would be a very interesting experience for me if anything like that would become reality.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Parting from my experience and my opinion, profiting from a culture means to give and take- otherwise it doesn't work. So if anyone is open enough to show me a little bit of their lives, surely I'm gonna share mine!

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Ecuador, France, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland
