ABOUT ME

I finished a Music degree before spending half a year living in New Zealand which is what brought me to this fine website. About 3 years later, I'm currently a Neuroscience Ph.D student working on a computer science masters as well by day. By night, I'm a session/studio musician. In addition to those boring jobs, some projects that I'm working on are: recording an album, learning Japanese, and planning a cross-USA bike ride this coming August.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm mostly a taker up til now but I think its time I start paying back my due and host some fellow travelers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After about a month and a half going through New Zealand and Australia, I've had the full gamut. From a great guy who let me live in his caravan trailer in a field kilometers out of town after clearing out all the birds nests and twigs that had grown (thanks greg) to a psycho threatening to throw my belongings out of his window because he was jealous of me talking to someone else at a party he brought me to, couch surfing has always given me good stories.
