About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to spread positivity through music and love. Check out my new venture - The American Music Project - http://kck.st/WcnYqa

ABOUT ME

I like to think of my mind as a garden. By taking care of little delicate seedlings (ideas, relationships, hobbies, etc), they grow into great rooted beauties, producing delicious fruits and even spreading pollen over the garden walls.

Weeds are lowly thoughts and actions. If left alone, they will surely multiply and overrun, destroying everything.

I bring back seeds from everywhere I go. In my garden, music is a massive oak tree wreathed in exotic vines, flowers, mushrooms, succulents, even cacti. I live up in the treehouse!

I have a beautiful garden, but I am not satisfied just yet. So I am leading The American Music Project! - http://kck.st/WcnYqa

PHILOSOPHY

Life has been good to me - born in an exciting time, with a sound mind and body. I find myself face to face with insurmountable opportunity.

Not everyone shares my luck, so I try to appreciate everything, every day. I try to smile and have empathy, but it is hard sometimes.

I believe that love is the only way! Kindness the only answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a student with no couch to call my own. However, I bring music and a friendly smile with me, so maybe I can offer some happiness. I also make pasta sauce.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on a number of couches in my lifetime. Some were small, some were big, some were comfortable. I do not fuss either way, because it's not far from the floor.
