Break down our barriers - bit by bit
ABOUT ME
I love to learn and absorb things from everywhere I go. I am easygoing, honest (very!) and think of myself as having a pretty good perspective on the world.
I love the arts, history, chatting with friends...life in general!
PHILOSOPHY
Make the world a little better in your own way.
Have the strength to follow your convictions, whatever people think.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am new to CS, and as yet do not have my own home :( so can't offer a couch but am fully committed to the ideals and philosphies of CS!
Can't wait to host, and meet new people as soon as I have my own place.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed for two weeks in Amsterdam. It exceeded all my expectations.
Interests
Music is my main love...I study and play classical music mostly (I'm a percussionist). I love world and folk music also, especially Eastern European and North African music...plus, The Police, Clash, Queen, Paul Simon, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Simple Minds and many more!
All the arts! Painting in particular...Miro, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gaugin, Ernst and anything that stretches my mind!
I like to cycle and ski for the feeling of freedom!
And most of all chatting to interesting people over a drink! Honestly, I could spend the rest of my life in Cafes just talking and relaxing.
