Free holydays in Sicily for all the oud players!!
Hello everybody!
Read carefully please (-;
I came out with a beautiful idea\ let me know if you like it..
I live on my own in a village very close to PALERMO (Sicily, Italy) and I have a quite confortable room for guests with its own toilet.
My idea is to host oud players for exchanging tecniques, informations, songs and for enjoy oud and Sicily togheter.
I will be happy to host oud players of any level, also very beginners because teaching the little I know will be as pleasant as learning from oud
players better than me (the vast majority for sure!!!).
So, if you would like to visit Sicily and share your oud knowledge, don't hesitate in contacting me.
I have also a COUCHSURFING account and my username is TARAB.
It would be very nice if we could create a kind of OUD couchsurfing or hospitality club.
So, see you in Sicily!!

Well, I never say no to a free holiday. I'd definitely be very interested in your very generous offer and Sicily would be a perfect setting for an oud
break. I'm afraid though I'd have to wait until 2011 because family commitments are probably taking all my time till then. Still, no harm in thinking
long-term!
Thanks again for this great idea.

Wow, I've wanted to visit Sicily for ages now. What a great opportunity! Can you accommodate partners too? My partner would want to come and I
probably wouldn't go on holiday to somewhere like that without her. She doesn't play oud tho'!!!

Hey, there's no limit of time for the offert\ 2011 will be good as well and partners are welcomed but only if the partner doesn't get very bored in
hearing discussions about oud!! (-:
Of course ouds are very welcomed, togheter with oud players and partners! (-;
Come on, who wants to be the first?

What are you waiting for?
I go to prepare my room for guests (-:
Are you still there? (-:
It's very strange to imagine an oud in Norway! and also a sicilian girl so up in the north!

Hello Daniele.
Thanks for this great offer....
I'm really interesting.....may be later because next monthes are "booked".I would like a lot such holidays and your proposition is full of
generosity.
I keep the idea in a corner of my head.
I add that my home is generally open to oud players travelling or crossing in the area.
I just can give a room and i'm located in southwest France between La Rochelle and Bordeaux .
I have more to learn from you than to teach but.......
Francis

oud hospitality club (-;
Thank you for your reply Francis!
My "offert" has no limit of time, don't worry. Come whenever you like, on your own or with a friend or girlfriend..
I think it would be great if we could create a kind of oud community to host each other, study togheter, exchanging opinions and tips, and of course
also relaxing, going out and drinking something togheter (-;
A kind of couchsurfing or Hospitality club for oud players!
Does anybody have any idea how to do it?
Maybe Mike should open a new section on the site dedicated to this?
What do you think?

I think this is a grate idea, Daniele!
Count me in for those traveling to Oslo. Unfortunatly I don't have an extra room (i live in a one room apartment), but I have an extra matress, and I
hope it would do for a couple of days

Can I book 10-12 days in the end of September or end of October?
I will get my new Nazih Ghadban in July.. and will try to take a vacation if it's good with you.
What about the visa? Could you write me and invitation?
Thanks

Ciao!
Yes, end of september or October will be fine (-:
I don't know anything about the Visa or something like that, but sure, if you need an official invitation or something like that just let me know.
see you!
