Hello World yet again.

My name is Francois Bessing and I am an aspiring Bass-Baritone. I grew up in so many places that it is difficult to point at one of them as home.

At this stage in my life I am traveling to align with my calling. I am traveling for auditions, performances, pleasure, food, relaxation, meditation, open mics, and friendship.

As a guest I tend to be respectful of property. I can sometimes prepare meals depending on time constraints. I love tea and can be available to have thoughtful conversations unwrapping the mysteries of the universe over ginger turmeric tea.

I love ecstatic dance and am happy to visit them in my travels with the host or without whichever works for both parties. I love farmer's markets and enjoy visiting them as I am able.

As a host I request respect of the property. I am a roommate in a home so I can only host when permission is granted by the landlady. She's laid back.

I hope our paths cross on this road to happy destiny.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find places to stay as I travel the world pursuing my performing and to provide a space for travelers traveling the world pursuing their own bliss.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to sing, how to cook a basic, delicious meal, and/or how to read/write your own poems/lyrics/music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a roommate in a shared home so I'd be able to share a couch (with the landlady's permission) or you can share my bed if you are comfortable doing so. It's a small room.
