About Me

I am a researcher in the field of ecology/hydrobiology with a keen interest in anything related to the natural environment and music. My all-time hobby is playing the saxophone in variuos local bands, and I've always been facinated by the music and musicians of different cultures and especially how it is related to their way of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
