Overview
About Me
I play jazz piano and music has always been a huge part of my life. I love hiking and camping in nature and spend most of my summer weekends there. I also love to cook and garden. I often spend my leisure time reading, watching movies, having a drink or coffee and enjoying the company of friends both new and old. I love solitude and I love parties.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm addicted to new experiences. There are so many incredible things in the world that I have yet to experience; music, food, cities, mountains, seas, friends, books, stories! I crave to search them out and live as much of life as I can. On Couchsurf I hope to make lifelong friends, share unforgettable experiences, learn and experience as much of the world as I can!
