CURRENT MISSION

To be a magical, bearded, poetic, wandering minstrel.

ABOUT ME

I want to befriend and inspire good people.

I would like to learn all I can about life and music during my travels. I play guitar, bass, piano and cello, and am always down to jam and improvise.

I draw weird creatures.

I aim to keep my youthful imagination alive as I hope to someday be a scifi/fantasy novelist.

PHILOSOPHY

Analyze yourself and understand what shapes your thoughts and actions.

Be patient and allow negative feelings to pass through you.

Strive to accept others' perspectives, anger comes from misunderstanding.

Never be satisfied with one point of view, never stop learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can provide lovely music, participate in philosophical conversations, geek out over games and movies, make a few acceptable meals, and I am pretty good at cutting hair.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just starting out, but looking forward to many adventures in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

The past and future don't exist. Living with emotions invested in anything but the present is a waste of energy that could be used to create and play. I believe that everyone has the great potential to create something beautiful and live the life they truly desire. Sadly, most sell this potential for security and comfort. I wish to inspire others to take a risk and be the person they've always wanted to be.
