I am A 25 year old banjo player from North Carolina. I've lived here all my life but I take time to go out and travel as well. I work at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville North Carolina where I take care of the horses on the estate and we have 36 in total. I have spent a lot of my adult life doing farm work, mainly a mixture of different types of animal husbandry. I also play in a bluegrass band called the Bull Moose Party and we play all over both Carolinas and Tennessee. Look us up! We are not that bad! And it also serves as my other job haha. I love to travel ( as you would expect because I have a couch surfing account) and have spent a fair amount of time working in Alaska and Ireland commercial fishing and working on farms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing right now (sept 12 - Oct 12) because I'm on small musical tour around Ireland with a great friend and guitar player Colin Martin, playing in some pubs and small venues. We want to experience more to the country than just staying in hotels. I also want to open up my lovely cabin to people if the happen to be traveling around North Carolina.
