Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to Couch Surfing. I joined it after hearing quite a few great stories about it and at the suggestion of some of my friends. I'm looking forward to travelling and hosting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I could help you learn some music: playing the guitar (especially the electric guitar); reading music and some composition.

I'm also very keen on philosophy, the study of various religions, history of occultism; politics; debates and drama, about which I could share some knowledge.

Learning: always on the look for new stuff!
