Hey, I'm Dave, easy going and chill. I love food, travel and music good stories good people and making friends. I am a good cook and not messy. I'm respectful of other people and try to be a positive person. I am a licensed massage therapist in the USA where I am from. I work between LA and the East Coast. I have been considering moving to Europe though. I just signed up for this program back when I first backpacked across Europe. I made a lot of friends just using couchsurfer to make friends. If AirBnB is too expensive or to help keep the costs of travel down couchsurfer is great too :)

I play bass guitar and am OK on guitar haha. Im practicing piano because I've always wanted to play the piano. I love all kinds of music, everything from rock, EDM, classic rock, classical, reggae, EVERYTHING haha... My favorite band is Pink Floyd. But I love so many types of music. I DJ and make music on my computer and have my own YouTube channel that I Vlog about food travel and music mostly. Also I run some YouTube music mix channels.

I also do photography and work with some talent agencies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Soooo many things I could list... I will have to come back to this one haha.

Short list

Music: Pink Floyd sublime foo fighters nirvana Red Hot Chili Peppers the black keys arctic monkees jimmi hendrix the doors Metallica Green Day I love reggae music and Bob Marley. I love 80s music as well. I like surf guitar music. classic rock. classical music. I love all music for the most part. Including classical. I enjoy Liszt, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak, and movie composers like john Williams and Bernard Herman.

Books: A lot. Mostly I like non fiction and informational books. One of my favorites is the jungle by Upton Sinclair. I like some poetry as well and enjoy writing.

Movies: I definitely am more of a comedy and action movie fan. I like suspense but not horror much. I also really enjoy documentaries and educational films or films about music and nature. I don't particularly like to see movies involving human suffering unless it's a powerful movie that makes you think and grow as a person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm I'll have to save this story to tell you if you let me couchsurf.

I bought a one way ticket to Budapest without a set plan of where to go and what to do... that was kinda amazing, the experience I had in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what this area is for. I think you want to know what I can teach learn or share with you?

For learning I'm sure I can learn a lot about you I love to learn and meet people and hear their stories and get to know them. I love to learn that is how we grow as people.

For teaching I can help you with English I can help you on bass guitar or with any questions you might have that I can answer about where I am from. I have my massage therapy certification and my bachelors in science from James Madison University is in anatomy and physiology. So if you have questions on massage for health and body or just questions in general about health I can do my best to answer what I know :-) Also, I am learning spanish but speak it pretty good so we can always practice that too. I do photography so if you like having your pics taken or need help editing photos or videos.

In terms of sharing I would be happy to give you a massage I work as a massage therapist so it will be a real one haha. I would be happy to cook for you. Help you practice guitar or we can trade songs we know or jam. I'm happy to share and help in any way you need :-)
