One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew out to california for a cup of coffee. I was lucky enough to get a really cheap ticket and have some money saved. I met and sat down and talked with someone who I admired. Someone who got me to pursue music in the first place

We sat and we spoke, shared stories, things we were excited about or scared for.
I got to sink my toes into the pacific ocean and see for the the first time what life was like 3000 miles away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I mostly hope I can teach by example and by listening. Ive gained knowledge about music and farming and would love to sit around and jam or take you to the farm I volunteer on.
I want to learn how other people live their lives and how to do it on the bare minimum. I want to hear stories and go for walks. swap music and books. I want to see your band play, and I want to come play by you!
Dont really know where to go from there but I figure its a good start.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good experience. What life is like as a touring musician. Contacts I have made along the road. Meals and recipes of my favorite foods, animal caretaking tips, mix tapes, a warm couch whenever I make it home.
