Почему я на Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I both enjoy surfing, and hosting people (the aim is to make meaningful encounters)
Музыка, кино и книги
Favourite directors: Tarantino, Woody Allen, David Lynch, Park Chan-Wook, Xavier Dolan, and many others. (this is a bit outdated) I love movies. I also love reading, especially 20th century literature. I love Julio Cortázar and all the people who could invent a whole new world from his mind. I listen to lots of sorts of music: rock, jazz, tango, folk. It's a pleasure to discover new music from other countries.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
I rode my bicycle forma over a month on the EuroVélo 6, from Tours (FR) to Budapest (HU) passing across 6 countries: France, Switwerland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary. Sand boarding in the moon-shaped desert of Nazca, in Peru. Scuba. Diving in the egyptian Red Sea While I lived in Germany, I used to play with latin-american musicians. I remember once we played in a squatter art space. There was such a bizarre and unique place, where you can find a crowd dancing along with a 70's funk tune, and a junky eating peas from a tin can.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I could teach guitar, music, spanish and french. I can also share some argentinian recipes, if you have the time. I'd like also to practice my German and Italian, which I'm learning since September 2022. I have also extra bikes, we can ride close to Basel along the river or for the most intrepidous up to the mountains. As there are many more experienced travellers, I will be grateful if you can give me any advice about hiking trips and hitchhiking. And of course, sharing interesting travel and life experiences and enjoying a discussion.
Что я могу предложить хостам
As I said, I can share my music, my travel experience, we can drink mate together. I can show you the city around, we can go beer or wine tasting, to a free concert or enjoy the many restaurants and vivid nightlife this city has to offer.
Мои интересы
I'm interested in all kind of arts. I've been playing guitar since I was 13, so I would enjoy meeting musicians. I love literature (Cortazar is my favourite author) and going to the cinema to watch art films. Most of all, I enjoy people who have something to say (an opinion) and to share life experiences.
