Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have had some home exchange experiences in the past. 2013 - 2014 I had very pleasant experiences while traveling in Spain. I met with very nice and welcoming people.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Once I've had the chance to meet with canadian lute maker Grant Tomlinson at a friends place (a magic place indeed with a mongol yurt, that I believe to be one of the most sacred place on earth I have been in, as it concentrates the power of friendship, mutual love and respect, music, education, sharing, living close to nature, some aspect of femininity as well, and much more). Following the one and a half hour discussion I've had with him about medieval music and performers, my vision and understanding of music had totally changed. From a thing or art one can learn with efforts in order to master it and perhaps become a talented musician, it moved to a basic human activity to be lived and experienced by anyone, especially by myself. Thanks Grant, it changed my life to some extent.
