About Me

Hey, I'm a musician and live to play music and collaborate and meet people. My instruments are piano 1st, bass trombone 2nd and then accordion (a bit). I love cooking, practising yoga and meditation and playing and listening to music (of pretty much all styles) whenever and wherever I get the chance. I also love travelling (obviously!) and have previously worked on cruise ships as a jazz pianist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the philosophy of couchsurfing, the chance to meet new people and make a trip more interesting than staying in an impersonal B&B or hotel!
