ABOUT ME
I am currently writing a blog about practicing for 10,000 hours, so most of my time is spent practicing and writing songs. Music is both my career and my spiritual exercise, I do it to grow and to help human society become more whole.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't die with your music still in you.
Don't talk the talk until you can walk the walk. But don't sit on your sofa for too long...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm a host for anyone who's trying to get anywhere, within themselves or in the world. I also use surfing as a way to travel and street perform.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It's been nothing be great fun! I've never yet me a CSer who's not extremely mature and fun to be around. I'm prepared for lesser experiences, but I've yet to actually have one.
The energy of meeting new people who are all passionate about traveling is hard to beat. I think it's that simple. The generosity and synergy that is the basis of couch surfing means you meet all these people when they are at their very best.
Interests
