Hi guys, glad you landed on my profile!

My names Dominik but my friends call me Steve, which I prefer (came from an obsession with Steve Vai, Steve McQueen and the Bodybuilder Steve Reeves when I was young, I was constantly talking about how cool they are, so my poor friends started to call me Steve).

I'm a musician from south Germany and moved to London last summer, though basically without a permanent home right now as I'm constantly traveling.

I play guitar and mandolin, mostly Rock, Blues and Folk and Irish jigs and reels on the mandolin.
Right now I'm busking my way through southern Europe playing Celtic music on the mandolin. My next stop is Spain where I'll probably stay for a few months and after that Portugal, maybe the Canary islands.
Also I have that crazy idea to hire on a sailing boat and sail over to the Caribbean.... I have no idea if this is going to happen but if there's the slightest chance I'll do it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well.... actually an old classmate made me sign up here :)
I have no idea what exactly I'm looking for :D

Maybe for a couch in some of the cities in Spain I'll visit: Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca and Cádiz. Maybe some other cities to, I'd definitely be glad for some recommendations in Galicia!

But mainly I wanna meet some awesome people in Spain that can show me around, know some cool places and most important: Practice some Spanish with me :)

If you live anywhere near the listed cities or especially in Andalusia or Galicia in general, don't hesitate to write me, I don't mind to travel around a bit to meet some cool people!

Interests

Number 1: MUSIC, can't go a day without some good music

Also I love learning languages, I wanna get fluent in Spanish this year.

And I'm also into sports, I'll try anything once and try to always keep myself in good shape.

And last but definitely not least: PARTYING! Doesn't matter if it's a small little bar or a huge club, I'm up for it!
