About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To See the World and Experience New Cultures and Friendships

ABOUT ME

We couldn't all be cowboys, so some of us are clowns. Some of us are dancers on the midway who roam from town to town. I hope that everybody finds their little flame. But me? well I'll just light myself on fire and walk out on the wire once again.

PHILOSOPHY

As I move through life I have realized just how much there is to do and see in such little time. I try to move forward at all times, if I stay put too long I begin to feel stagnant. I try to live my life free, spreading art and love, and leaving a profound impact wherever I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS2

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a musician I have done my share of couch surfing living, but never in a global community setting such as CS2.

Interests

I enjoy writing, playing, and listening to music. I'm big on concerts and festivals. I'm a bit of a movie geek everything from big budget Hollywood to independent art house.

Sitting on the floor at Barnes & Noble, coffee, brunch, writing bad poetry at 5am, cafes' in remote parts of the world, free samples, Gallery hopping, dive bars w/ a good jukebox, after parties...

At this point in my life travel is my main focus. I am interested in visiting places I wouldn't normally see on a tourist vacation.
