traveler, musician, writer, lover of wine and good conversation. i am currently a freelance piano and voice instructor. i'm an avid explorer and traveler and find couchsurfing to be an incredible outlet for meeting new and different people, namely, one that nurtures genuine, charitable relationships between complete strangers. Really pushing that altruistic side we all have but are not always vulnerable enough to give!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm thrilled to meet fellow travel-fanatics on my adventures and experience earthy, friendship-oriented couchsurfing wherever the wind blows me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

flown off the cuff of my cerebral impulses.

What I Can Share with Hosts

conversation & music (i usually have my guitar or there's always my good old fashioned vocals). i don't expect any free meals or spending extensive periods of time with me. for the most part, i am a pretty independent traveler, which doesn't imply i won't spend time with my hosts. i am more than willing to offer my music as compensation for my hosts' generous hospitality. i'm clean folk, too.
