About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just moved to Brunswick, MD from DC. Getting to know the area and settling in!

Road trips pop up from time to time. I'm Vermont-bound early July of 2019 and North Dakota-bound in August of 2019.

ABOUT ME

I'm a full time musician, bouncing between running a business, teaching, and performing.
I have a dog - Leo, I love gardening and am pretty excited about my community garden plot, I'm into casual hiking, usually have a road trip on the horizon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm finally in a position to host, and would be happy to welcome guests to my little home in small-town Maryland. I love road trips and would like to do more couch surfing while traveling!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a couple times and met up with other couch surfers in the US and Ukraine for events.

Interests

Playing music (banjo, fiddle, guitar mostly), exploring new places, hiking, good conversations over coffee or drinks. I'm pretty pumped about my community garden plot and love cooking with my own produce. My dog is new to me and I've really gotten into dog training - I'd love to get him into therapy work some day!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm all about American folk music and am learning to play a few instruments in that tradition. I've been reading quite a bit of philosophy and metaphysics and really digging those topics lately.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Enthusiasm for what you can tell me about where you live! I'm a captive audience for anything you want to share about the music, history, and culture.
