I'm a 27 year old living in Los Angeles, CA and traveling back to Boston, MA.

I'm a professional digital marketer and currently freelancing while traveling with my girlfriend.

I'm an artist and a songwriter. I make a lot of music, started off as just hip hop and gradually involved into some more in-depth styles. I don't play an instrument, though I'd like to play piano or guitar and have taken a few violin lessons just for the experience, but I'm always looking to make music with other artists.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've always wanted to travel the world and I've finally decided to not let money, or lack their of, hold me back anymore. I finally have a job where I can work remotely if I plan on traveling for a long time and I'm looking to take advantage of it.

I want to meet locals and get to know what the country and the culture is all about. Hang out with people and have a good time exploring the world and places that I've never been.

I'm looking to backpack from Ireland to wherever the road takes me, with a destination goal being Italy and possibly Greece before heading back home.

I'm looking for inspiration for my next album that I'm working on and I'd love to record some of it overseas and incorporate all of the cultural influences in it.

If possible I'd love to backpack Asia but that may have to wait till another time

音乐、电影和书籍

Loves all kinds of art and that goes for all forms of it. Sometimes I can't always enjoy it but I try to always respect and appreciate all forms of art because I know how tough it can be for an artist at times.

I can't even begin to list all of the musicial influences that I have so I'll spare you on that and attempt to list the movies and books, which won't be nearly as difficult.

Movies:
Good Will Hunting
Pulp Fiction
Forest Gump
Shawshank Redemption
The Godfather
etc......

Books:
The Moon & Six Pence
Of Human Bondage
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Hard Drive - bio of Bill Gates
Walt Disney biography
The Fountainhead & Atlas Shrugged
One Last Hurrah
Word of Honor
etc....
