About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hello!

I'm a musician who will be staying indefinitely in the Parkton/Hereford area of Maryland in order to collaborate with a fellow musician living in that area. I am seeking a temporary couchsurfing space in April until I can find a more permanent place.

I travel internationally as a musician living within a gift economy model. I've been living in this model since April 2015 and have developed beautiful relationships around the world. I have been blessed to give free/donation-based concerts in 14 countries, all through North America, Asia, and most recently in Europe. My one hour "Dream Walk Concert" is a performance of original music and storytelling, supporting my audiences in living their life dreams. I started with myself when I decided to be brave and pursue this dream! And I truly have never been happier.

ABOUT ME

I am an artist, a writer, a singer/songwriter, and an energy healer. I am most definitely connected to the idea that we are a global family.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in infinite possibilities.
The universe is a bountiful, abundant place, ready to rock us to our core.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a guy from Singapore come stay with me when I lived in Montana. He was incredible, and he told me that even after visiting all the huge sites of America, little Missoula became one of his favorite trips because of the friendship we created. Yeah, that's what it's about.

Interests

I have a passion for celebrating people's life dreams, my own and others. What a joy when people get to live their bliss! I feel that kind of happiness ripples throughout the globe and uplifts all of humanity.

Do you have that little tingle in your fingers happen when you create something? I live for those moments.
