About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Surf the world on my rocket ship

ABOUT ME

I live in Bushwick Brooklyn in a big loft apartment with three other blokes. We have a great community of artists, musicians, dancers, and general knuckleheads who contribute to some sort of spastic, creative arts scene in Brooklyn. I work at the Working Families Party, a non profit labor backed third party in New York state during the day and make music on the weekends and at night.

Life is busy with gigs, elections and parties so if you come to visit you will most likely be sucked up into our world. Not that you will regret one moment of it.

PHILOSOPHY

we only have time to laugh

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many people when I lived in Washington DC. It is a great experience to host others. You truly get to travel without leaving your home. I haven't hosted anyone yet in Brooklyn but I am looking forward to it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed with some friends in Durban, South Africa. Hosted a lot of surfers at my old apartment in DC. Couch surfed in Guatemala and danced in Colombia.
