À propos de moi

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Learn, and Love...

ABOUT ME

I am very generous... This is in part to all the generosity I've received throughout my life when traveling or at home. I truly believe if you have nothing to give then you have nothing to receive. I am very open-minded... "There are no truths... everything tends to evolve..." so I am always trying to listen to everyone else's take on things. I also really really really try to enjoy life to its fullest. I may find myself wrapped up in thoughts at times but I am constantly brought back to the amazing moment that is so eternal. I am an adventurer and let life take me wherever it may lead my heart to find... It's already brought me so far and wide that I don't know how I've ended up in the places I do... I am in awe of this aspect of life. I'm a pianist, vocalist, guitarist, and composer. I love to make music and meet other musicians... It's when I'm in the moment playing or singing with others that I experience true happiness. Yoga is my way of life and I practice it in every aspect of my life. I am an idealist... Peace and Love is my motto and I try to spread it everywhere I go.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to love and be loved in return. To give is the greatest gift we have and to receive is our destiny. We are all here for each other. The only moment we have is now and it's the only time we have to change our circumstances. Compassion is Love in Motion. Try, try, try, and try some more. I guess that sums it up... Peace and Love!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I help others who need it (I believe this is our greatest gift). Whether it be a guide or just a bed I am there to help how I can. I also travel and love meeting other people who I can share my stories and experiences with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a part of the community for over two years now and I've hosted and surfed many times... Just thinking of all the people I've met is tremendous. Everyone is so unique yet intimately joined together through this community. People have offered me their cars to sleep in when no one else had space on their floors. I've met people who I can call a real friend. Above all I've met people that make me feel good about being alive in such an amazing world.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Traveling for 5 Months... driving across the US and back in 23 days, living in India for a month at an ashram, farming in spain for 3 months, touring Istanbul and Dublin... all this with nothing more than my backpack and my best friend Nathan by my side. I can't start to describe the people and places that I've met long the way that made it all worth it.

"Love comes in waves
It crashes and it lifts
You rise and you fall
Love doesn't leave it just changes again." - Lisa Pellegrino

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach music to anyone who's willing to try... theory, piano, guitar, voice... you name it I'm yours. I also love yoga. I've been certified to teach and would love to share my thoughts and practices. I could also show you how to crochet a hat or an afghan... or whatever! I always share food... it's the one thing that always brings people together.
