Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn, to hear, to see, to taste, and to dream.
ABOUT ME
I love good peolple and the goodness in people and I try to really enjoy life, and am on a journey to find wisdom, and truth. I love to sing especially with others. I like to balance work and play. It is very difficult to make me angry, or even uncomfortable and up for most anything as long as it is worth the time. I believe that friendship is important and try my best to value those around me.
PHILOSOPHY
I experience life through art in every form.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When I was in Paris I was told about a very interesting concept called a "passeur" someone who helps other idealistic people by housing, and feeding, and talking with them, together they form a bond which I call "the passeur code" which says that the host must always be accepted by the guest when the host needs a place to be fed and kept. Basically just like Couch Surfing!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am new to couch surfing but that will hopefully change soon!
Interests
First of all I think CouchSurfing is a wonderful idea for humanity! I am a songwriter, guitarist, rapper, and composer, and my favorite things in the whole world are writing music, learning, singing, dancing, reading, and meeting good people from all walks of life. I love to learn languages, and to help people achieve their dreams. I like intense relationships with people which are based on good virtues and principles. I prefer talking and listening to partying, but love to dance, and drink wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Helping a cow give birth on Christmas Eve, seeing Pagliacci live in Vienna for 3 euros, walking through Paris the first time, being licked in the face by my dog Leon after not seeing him for a year. Oh yeah and the ocean!!!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I play the guitar, write songs, rap, compose, sing, and play piano professionally. I also grew up on farm and so I can help with any sort of manual labor and love animals especially dogs.
BUT I want to learn everything! I would love to improve my French, Spanish, and Italian speaking skills. I love learning all kinds of dances especially tango, ballroom, salsa, and break. I want to learn to cook and am always open to eat anything and expand my horizons.
