Ever since I started taking piano lessons at age 8, I have been playing music in one capacity or another. I have been fortunate enough to travel all 50 states and to see the small towns and open spaces between traditional US destinations. I have done a reasonable amount of traveling abroad, and plan to see as much of the world as I am able.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having toured the country in a band for several years, I have slept on couches, futons, air beds, and floors (both carpeted and hardwood), and am grateful for each one. My goals are to become more active as a host and to do more surfing internationally.
