CURRENT MISSION

All that I want / is to sing a song / and love somebody / with all of my heart

ABOUT ME

I have been making it my mission lately to incorporate some of my life philosophy into my music. If I'm living the way I want to live, and I'm making art the way I want to make art, where does the line get drawn? At what point does a song become a prayer, a day become a concert, a relationship became a thought (a life!) experiment? Love, love, love makes the world go round.

More and more of my activities come to revolve around my music and the performance(s) thereof. For most current information, check out http://www.facebook.com/EliaGoat and thanks for listening:)

PHILOSOPHY

Planting seeds for growing trees. Laying foundations for later deeds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Willing to host, willing to surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a nice vagabonding trip from June-December '06, in Spain, Portugal, and France. Since then, had some people stay at my first apartment in Columbus, surfed a couple couches here and there, done some hitching and picked up some hitchers, etc.

Interests

I am a musician, so a lot of everything revolves around sound and noises and sonic energy. I really, really like acoustic instruments. I like walking a lot, and cooking great healthy food and sunshine and drinking a gallon of water a day. I'm into positivity and having deep experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch movies very much, or television at all. I like documentaries and concert films, and art films and films about landscapes and relationships and dualities-and-contrasts. I like sci-fi and fantasy, and road novels and love stories and adventures. Reading is great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have run with the bulls in Pamplona.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about music, so I can teach that. I cook well. I play chess, among other things; I'm in the process of learning tarot, so I can teach and learn some of it, and have been doing some palmistry as well. I'm learning to play Go, a little bit. I want to learn: how to open a beer bottle on a ledge, how to repair a bicycle, how to build a house, how to not need to work, how to hang.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Portugal

Countries I’ve Lived In
