About Me

I wish I could accept guests but I have several house mates and it's just too much on them. I love to surf though!

CURRENT MISSION

To make music and travel

ABOUT ME

I'm a singer-songwriter, recording and performing artist. I tour all around the world to play music. Sometimes, I end up having a part time job, but I play music as much as possible and it takes me to beautiful places.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very sympathetic. I can almost always understand someone else's opinion even if we don't share the same point of view. Life is short and I want to make the most of it. I often feel stressed about not being able to do everything I want to do. At the same time I try to remind myself to just enjoy each moment and breathe it in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To make my life style work, I depend on kind people to house me all the time. A couch is much appreciated.

I can offer a space to crash as long as I have one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One time I stayed on a boat in Newport, Oregon, with a friend, a cello player and a dog named Mojave. -- This past September I stayed with two Serbian women living in Paris. I met them a few days before in Brussels when I was lost in the dark. I've stayed with numerous hosts in France and also in Edinburough.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being on the top of Huayna Picchu (the hill above Machu Picchu) in Peru was pretty awesome. I was standing above the clouds!
