Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:

None... yet! Wanting to do a huge cross-country trip sometime this summer, hoping to build up some CS cred maybe even host if situations allow. Looking forward to meeting new people from new places!

Interests

MUSIC!!! I like to play a bunch of instruments like guitar, drums, string bass, electric bass, violin, flute, piano, Maschine, banjo, ukulele, etc. I like to record them all together to create music. :) I can show you some tunes if you'd like. I'm currently posting some of my more recent stuff on https://soundcloud.com/cubscout-records

I also enjoy vinyl records, photography, outdoorsy stuff like hiking / biking / kayaking, reading, poetry, graphic design and eating cereal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my 20th birthday I jumped 80 ft. off of an old railroad bridge into a river way up in the boondocks of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm kind of new so I'm not sure what to put here... I love to make music and play a ton of different instruments! As a music teacher I love to share that passion, so if you have an instrument you've always wanted to play, I'd greatly enjoy showing you some stuff or just jamming along! My interests are always expanding and I always love to learn from others, I think passion is contagious and if your truly passionate about something you can ignite an interest in anyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach an instrument or bake chocolate chip cookies or let you drive my Lamborghini or fly my jet.
