About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To create and perform music that any amount of people can relate to.

PHILOSOPHY

To love and to be loved, and from mutual love may come happiness, and surely that's all anyone wants?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The last six months that I lived in Oslo, Norway, I lived with a guy that was really in to couch surfing. so we had at least one new couch surfer every week, if not more. All of them were great experiences. That's what got me to sign on.
Since then I've hosted a couple of times, surfed a couple of times, and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the lights just cast a barcode 'cross the water from the highway to my feet and every ripple on the surface well that's all that i can see and somehow it all comes together but still for the life of me i just can't understand the grains of sand that lie upon this beach.
on these rolling hills of golden filled my body took my fare share fed it to my heart my soul explodes and nothing never left untold it broke apart the pieces spread them out across the earth and told me not to care or worry for these bodies that we bury never feel too much or you might push your luck.
so paint a picture of your melancholy pin it to the wall with all the detail lost in focus all the friends you never call whatever fits the bill or suits your mood just don't forget you need some food and water if you're ever gonna grow it's my opinion THIS I KNOW.
