About Me

Give better than you get, and don't be predictable.

I travel, make artwork, play music and follow my spirit's path. I love good and deep conversations, all things nature, kayaking and camping. I hope to find some inner silence and peace as I travel about on this latest adventure. I am looking to find people and/or a place that I can work for, learn from and serve.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because many good things in my life came from either hosting or being hosted as a couchsurfer. I am greatly looking forward to more adventures and memories through the fantastic people I meet and have met on here!

Interests

I am a professional leatherworker and musician and I enjoy all things that involve nature or the outdoors.

  • arts
  • traveling
  • leatherworking
  • music
  • fishing
  • camping

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music of all types, and I'm into ethnobotanical, herbalism or cultural and anthropological books. I'm also a sucker for suspense and fantasy fiction. Movies and shows are great for arting and on rainy days :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life is blessed to be filled with amazing things. I house sat for a fishing boat caption in Alaska, it was shortly after the equinox so the days were light and long and beautiful. Rivers in the Ozarks are also some of the most breathtaking I've seen, and even better from my kayak.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a leatherworker, musician and teacher by trade and profession. I am looking forward to travel again for a plethora of reasons, but the main reason is I get to learn and teach alot and in real time whilst on adventures. I guarantee we have a lot to learn from each other!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have many skills and stories and songs to share, I am very into skill and information exchange with hosts, and I also respect if hosts need their time and space as well. I have been told by hosts in the past that I was a tidy and pleasant house guest; I like pulling my own weight as far as earning my keep.

Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
