CURRENT MISSION

Make the best out of life. Live in the moment.

ABOUT ME

I am a trumpet player and teacher in the Seattle area. Mainly I play jazz trumpet, but also freelance playing classical, soul/funk, and latin styles.

My major passions also include travelling, learning french, reading, cooking, meeting new people, learning about other cultures, and spending time with my dog.

If any of this interests you, send me a message if you are in Seattle. Unfortunately, it is unlikely for me to host, but I would love to meet up with interesting and fun people.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live life without regrets, be spontaneous and open to new experiences, and surround myself with the people I love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to show anybody around Seattle, and all of the excellent live music, coffee, and beer it has to offer!

I'm traveling for 3 months to France, and I hope to meet many CSers while there.
