About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get back on the road :)

ABOUT ME

Hello!I'm a very social being, who like to be with friends and to share things; quite laid back and also liking quietness once in a while, so my house is a rest from (sometimes :) ) intense life with playing music, working(I'm a woodwind instrument repairer and maker once in a while), going out (often enough, but not every night. I love meeting new people and discovering cultures, basically i love travelling, whilst trying to get involved in local life as much as i can, not just seeing sites; there's too much to discover in humans!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just welcomed a couple of people for now and really enjoyed it, I look forward to do it more, and get on the road too!

Interests

I 'm a musician, not professional, but i play quite a lot, of clarinet, saxophone and accordion; i love sharing through music; mainly playing gypsy jazz and traditional music from balkan area, and french trad. I like dancing, walking and hiking; i love reading a good book in winter, or a good movie. Camping is one thing i really like as well, swimming... I love theatre; for all those reasons, i can live and i lived in both countryside and cities, although when it's a city, i have to be able to escape for a bit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just simple things i guess, people met whilst travelling, when you feel sometimes lonely or down, there's always something or somebody that will lift you up, or teach you something... I've been to beautiful places, but the thing i remember most and seek is the relation to people, and discovery of other cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach a bit of clarinet or beginner's accordion. Cooking. Quite happy to learn new music styles, pieces, anything craft (wood, metal...), growing stuffs or building skills, i like as well!
