About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Play music around the world

ABOUT ME

I like adventures, and they have led me through most of Europe and the United States. To see as much of the world as possible has always been a goal of mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can, and am trying to get more involved with local CS groups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has led to some great times for me. Everyone I have met through this community has immediately felt like an old friend. I hope the good times keep rolling.

Interests

My main interest is music; this includes performing, composing, and recording/producing. Although I play many instruments, guitar is my main one.
I enjoy a good game of table tennis, and would gladly sleep under one if a couch is not available.
I like to ski as much as possible - back country and powder riding are the most fun.
As an eagle scout, I have grown to like backpacking and hiking.

In addition to all this, I am interested in world cuisine, and will eat most things.
