Hello! Im Jay and im from Oregon in the USA. Been living New Zealand for about two years but now I'm cycling through the southern U.S. Im pretty laid back. I like to jam some tunes ( sometimes travel with an acoustic bass), good beer, dancing and seeing beautiful places. I am no longer traveling with an acoustic bass due to less weight on my bicycle but I play the spoons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest just to meet locals and not sleep under a bridge or in a crazy expensive hotel.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always willing to learn tidbits of any language or culture. If you are interested in learning bass guitar/hand drums/spoons I could show you a few pointers and have a jam. Would love to teach about my home and other places I've been. Would also more then anything learn about your home and stories you have to share.
