About Me

Hello friends,

I'm Sergio Andre

I'm a rocker and grade four teacher.
Originally, I'm from Canada, but I'm working on building a life here in the US.

Here to make a lot of damn noise!!

I love cross-country motorcycle trips with only a backpack and guitar.

Starting a metal band. Lets go!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first couch-surf was in Hawaii in 2006. Since then I've used it in numerous countries, and even hosted for the first time in 2020.

Life is a little more fixed and stable and so I want to give back.

Interests

Ambidexterity is big for me. I just bought a leftie guitar and have begun the process of learning to mirror what I do on the other side.

I've worked with many psychadelics and I'm still down for the occasional trip during my time off.

Motorcycles are fun, as is screaming. I don't own a firearm here in the states yet, but I do love shooting.

I love America as perhaps only an outsider and hopeful can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I circumnavigated the globe back in 2011-2012.
I got robbed four days into it and after I got over feeling sorry for myself I decided to soldier on despite having lost all of my equipment, documents, etc.
It was amazing. No longer encumbered by a heavy bag and lots of gucci gear I didn't need I moved a lot quicker and I realized that ‘he who wishes to travel happily must travel lightly.’

Teach, Learn, Share

I love playing guitar. I would be happy to teach and learn. I have met many phenomenal players in my travels and each has imparted something of value.

I'm getting better at working on my bike

Also I teach jewelry-making, yoga, breathing exercises, improv, etc...

I worked with children in Germany, Honduras, Nicaragua and Canada so very often I have to break new skills down to their core teachable components.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can certainly share my love of music and conversation. I clean up, I cook, I garden, etc.

In conversation, I listen actively, stare deeply and speak truthfully.

I’m strong, competent with tools, and helpful.
