Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a decent amount & hosted a lot in the past. My work schedule hasn't been too kind for hosting lately but the times I've been able to have been incredibly rewarding.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing, even with guests I didn't quite gel with. Meeting new people can be incredibly rewarding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Catching Arctic Monkeys at Outside Lands 2011 with Arcade Fire, who are some of the nicest people you could chill with.

Following Judah Friedlander around for a weekend as his personal photographer for Bonnaroo 2012. We danced to Phish together and talked favorite venues.

Hiking in Joshua Tree. It's glorious there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a classically-trained bassist & violinist, decent writer (if I & my employers say so myself) & collector of odd facts. I could bombard you with esoteric knowledge in the best of ways.
