I'm a traveling musician who likes to have fun and explore nature and hopes to meet friends and make community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a sporadic occasion that I actually have a couch to offer, as I spend most of my time on the road.

Have had a lot of informal couchsurfing experiences outside of this website through hitchhiking, getting taken in by firemen, schoolteachers, house painters... I've had this account a few years but haven't used it very often. I'm not great at planning ahead, but after positive experiences using this forum with a friend, I'm
starting back up again in the hopes that it will help me meet people with similar interests on the road and get into projects. I am NOT interested in using couchsurfing as a dating website! But if you want to spend some time making friends, playing board games and drinking tea, I think we'll get along great.

Interests

I play trumpet, accordion, ukulele and piano. I carry the trumpet with me, but am always looking for pianos on the road! I love swimming and spending time outside in nature, cooking and eating healthy food, following my nose and living spontaneously. Currently I'm looking to expand my carpentry and sailing skills and spend as much time as possible on boats.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many beautiful places, times and people to choose from.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with basic music theory, astrology, tarot, trumpet, English, Spanish, and nutrition, and I love cooking and playing music with friends. Would love help learning about building and sailing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like cooking very healthy stuff. I have a lot of good stories and I could play you some songs.
