CURRENT MISSION

To travel forever and encourage others to travel too

ABOUT ME

I am an open minded musician looking to discover new sounds wherever they may be. I love art, music, philosophy, dancing, economics, the internet. I believe that hard work is its own reward and I like to get my hands dirty. I like learning stuff about almost anything at all.

I spent 2008 travelling the world with my partner Erin, which was awesome and changed our perspective on life completely. From 1st March 2010 we have sold everything to hit the road permanently. We travelled through South and Central America and are now exploring North America and Europe. Follow our adventures at www.neverendingvoyage.com.

Oh, and we are both vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that meaningful occupation gives life definition and that new challenges are pretty awesome. Also, being scared witless but doing it anyway is totally the way to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
