About Me

I am a musician, a lover of life and good people. I'm originally from Arizona but have been living in either LA, NY or Nashville over the last several years. I've recorded 6 albums and was recently asked to tour with a band as an opening act, which is why I am looking into couch surfing. I'm a very laid back, person and am always up for a good laugh, a philosophical convo, or a tequila shot. Also, I don't like to brag, but I do make some of the best guacamole around. I'm healthy, happy and am hoping to meet and stay with people who are too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never done couch surfing before and am very excited to meet new people. Touring is expensive so I am hoping to avoid hotels...Also it would be so much more fun to get to stay with locals and learn more about the cities I am visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- I have many! I love old blue, jazz and rock and roll. Mostly love music from the 60s, and 70s, but then I will listen to anything from Paco De Lucia to Radio Head, or Kendrick Lamar. My childhood favorite band was Led Zeppelin.
Movies... All time favs include Tombstone, and Labyrinth with David Bowie

Books- One of my favorite authors was CS Lewis- The Great Divorce always meant a lot to me. I loved to Nerd out with some Tolken, and currently I am reading the original Twilight Zone stories. I am also very interested in learning about Energy and metaphysics. One of the best books I've read on that subject is Eastern Body Western Mind. Oh and EVER ARTIST should read The War of Art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well lets see, how about this, instead of amazing things I've done- how about some unusual things that I've experienced? I have been stung by a scorpion, been shot in the leg and still have the bullet Shrapnel there to prove it. I've swam with dolphins and have had a horse step on my foot. I will say that one of my favorite experiences was getting to travel to Spain to record an album in a 400 year old farm house that had been converted into a recording studio.

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up in a home that was sort of like a commune in the mountains. My dad is a wholistic dentist and healer and so I grew up around all kinds of very interesting people. Alternative Medicine is something I always like to share ideas about. Also art and travel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I'm happy to sing and play any time- but also happy to play guitar so you can sing! haha! I'm a good cook if there's time for that. I also just love listening to people's stories and learning about what they're into and doing.
