Hello!

Grew up in a town about 30 min south of Seattle Washington (US). Moved to Los Angeles CA around 2004, and really never looked back! I work in audio as a freelancer. Most days I'm writing, producing, engineering music, but sometimes I need to pay bills, so you'll also find me cutting audio (dialogue / Sfx) for tv shows! You can check out some of the shows I've worked on here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2072223/

I love music - I make music! I love conversation, and perspectives that challenge my own! I'm an open guy who likes to explore, and laugh! You can check out my music work here: www.skaggsmusic.com/listen

I hope to meet you on this journey!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Simply put - "people make the world go round"
So I want to do that - meet people, have fun conversations, be shown (and show people) cool, and beautiful places, people, and things!

Secondly, I love the local life, as opposed to the tourist life. So having a local show me their favorite spots is a dream come true!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've made some cool music that other people actually liked enough to pay me for, put on tv shows, and commercials! (Other people = NOT mom, dad, siblings or friends haha!)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Happiness is balancing fear, and elation in order to never get too comfortable, and never get too freaked out.. (Seeking joy has a byproduct of generating happiness)

Once you get too comfortable, you begin to see less of the world, and your place in it..

If you're too freaked out - you'll just hold up in a dark room, and think the world is a nasty place..

To each their own - for me? I want to see the world…

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones
