CURRENT MISSION

To tour the US cheaply!

ABOUT ME

I'm a folk musician. I love gardening and cooking. I play banjo and guitar. I love dogs and cats. I LOVE hiking in the beautiful Black Hills of Western South Dakota. There are so many beautiful places to see!

PHILOSOPHY

I love connecting with people through music, food, and conversation. These three define me as a person pretty well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have done a fair amount of surfing while on tour and recently started hosting as well. Both experiences have been wonderful. I hope to do more of each:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everytime I show up on someone's doorstep, I know its going to be great. It's weird, I just know. I've met some awfully cool people through this website and look forward to meeting many more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I self released my second album in the spring of 2011. I finished my first (and only) half marathon in 2010. Also, I've seen most barn yard animals being birthed...

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting and learning from people that are very different from myself. Perhaps those who have the least in common with me.
