About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a lover of life, unconditionally. I want to share that with others, in whatever way I can, from quiet conversations to exciting, outlandish outings.

ABOUT ME

I am a improvisational pianist with a love for jazz and a passion for classical music. I love rhythm, new experiences, and acts of kindness. I admire Arthur Rubinstein, Will Smith, Rumi, Russel Brand and so so many others. I intend to create my life as I desire it, and will do the best I can in all my endeavours. I love the outdoors, sports, eating healthily, and learning languages. My career is music, so that is my mistress.

PHILOSOPHY

I love life unconditionally. “Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.” -Joseph Campbell

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whole-heartedly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just had a fantastic experience couch surfing a couple weeks ago in Raleigh, NC, where I traveled to perform for a wedding. The host played a myriad of instruments and we clicked from the first moment. I would love to have more experiences of this nature, and of any other positive way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies, music, and books. I will list them here when I have the appropriate time to do them justice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe not in accomplishments, but in completing yourself. I have been working on myself since as long as I can remember, and I am a product of that effort. I have one field to plow, and it is within me.

I see beautiful things every day, in the smallest, simplest things. It is not the object of reality in which I am interested, but the lens that perceives it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would to love to teach others about the piano and the Alexander Technique. And how the two can marry.

Countries I’ve Visited

Costa Rica, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, United Kingdom
