I'm a musician. Music is my greatest passion and has been ever since I started playing and studying classical guitar music when I was ten years old. Today, I write, perform, and release my own songs as an independent musician. I enjoy writing sad love songs, and Sandy Denny and Bic Runga are my north stars. I love recording my music: I self-release (home) studio recordings to all major streaming platforms, and I capture unique live performances filmed around the globe as musical postcards.

I'm a podcast host. Imagine a call-in radio show about music that's both entertaining and educating, that expands your appreciation for music's emotional side and the musical side of emotions. Find Catch 33 1/3 - Feel Your Way Through Music wherever you listen to podcasts. You may leave me a voicemail on Speakpipe to be featured on the show. Recently, I added shorter soundscape diaries to the feed called "Chronicles", which are brief escapes into captivating soundscapes, travel tales, and personal musings.

I'm the author of a children's book. The book is called The Magic Suitcase: A Feelings Fable for Children and Adults. I wrote the story and my mom illustrated it by hand with original colored pencil drawings. The story follows a young girl and her magic suitcase as they meet animals wrestling with big feelings, from an angry Blackbird to happy Rabbits. We self-published this wonderful story on feelings and mindfulness in a beautiful hardcover edition. The Magic Suitcase is available on Ko-Fi.

And I started a blog, where I'm reading around the world in 18 Sleuths (because 80 seemed impossible to conquer and 8 definitely not enough). I combine reading crime fiction with other forms of armchair traveling, for instance, with listening through the respective countries' music histories.
