Overview
About Me
I'm a freelance culture journalist focusing on the music from Eastern Europe and former USSR states. I like travelling and/or living in different countries in the region to learn about the scenes as a local.
I don't have a permanent place right now so can't host unfortunately!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It seems like a good way to meet like-minded people and travel on a budget, while learning about the culture beyond a tourist brochure.
Interests
I like music a lot so I go to live gigs or clubs often. Since it became my job, I'm trying to keep things balanced so I like going to art galleries and museums just for pleasure. I also like walking and wandering around the city with no purpose. My favourite drink is black tea with milk.

Music, Movies, and Books
Electronic and experimental-leaning music, autobiographies, documentaries, silly sitcoms and cartoons.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I bungee jumped once even though I'm terrified of heights.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can help you learn one of the three languages I speak and give you advice on writing or career in the media. I also like cooking so will be happy to share whatever food I'm making.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I make really good aubergine and tomato pasta and hearty chili (usually vegetarian but I'm also a bit of a carnivore)!

Austria, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, United States
