I'm a bon vivant, in love with life, nature, coffee in the morning, my family, my lover and the art of maturing and growing as a human being day by day. I'm up for adventure, for exploring for fresh music and learning new skills, meeting new friends and broadening my horizons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know it so much easier to connect to new place if you meet someone local and I'm interested in meeting new people to hear about their lives and see the things they find special through their eyes. I believe my friends are all over the world and couch surfing might just be a great way to meet more of them soon !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been spreading spicy music for 16 years now as a professional DJ (www.djsocrates.com) and songwriter/musican, always staying true to the music I really love without compromising to fit in with the latest fashion or please commercial expectations. Bringing warm sound to many places and often opening peoples ears to new sounds in the process.. I'm really grateful I can still do this and can make a living with it as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I gladly share my skills when it comes to DJ-ing, cooking with love, making good coffee, composing songs and my knowledge of nature and exciting music from around the globe.
