I'm a career musician with a lifelong practice of performance and creative facilitation. My preferred mode of being is jamming - I love connecting with people and enjoy spaces that are open for all to express their best self with confidence.

My latest release: https://joeoppenheimer.bandcamp.com/

My other work is teaching music (joeoppenheimer.com/songcraft) and cleaning up festivals (upcycleentertainment.com) - designing festival spaces and characters which encourage people to overcome their resistance to cleaning up their shit... and enrolling them in the right cause.

I often travel with my partner, Jiveny - she's a dating coach for singles, offering 1-1 sessions as well as online courses and resources: www.jiveny.com... people generally enjoy joining me to bask in her company and conversation :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always grateful to meet amazing people, to be inspired by what's going on in this good world. Couch surfing is a great way to meet the real people. Other reasons include joining bands, being in parks, drinking, jamming - and good old fashioned synchronicity.
