CURRENT MISSION

Finished travelling for a bit...Now just kicking back!

ABOUT ME

I live in beautiful Puyallup, WA- just on the outskirts of Tacoma, WA. and work for an Engineering firm. I'm Irish-Celtic musician, so musicians are especially welcome! Things I enjoy participating in would be motorcycling, hiking with my dog, exploring, doing new things, and being around interesting and friendly people!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life as yourself. Don't pretend. Laugh. Be. DO! You're only here for a short time- try to make impressions count. Karma, baby. Don't worry so much about things you can't control- But on those you can... You've made it this far, haven't you?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While in the Army, I was a surgical technician- I've assisted in delivering 6 babies- That, I think, qualifies as an "amazing" thing, doesn't it? Some of the things I "thought" were amazing, when compared to some profiles I've read...well, all of a sudden- not so amazing anymore! LOL.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a musician. I would be happy to teach a little about my instruments and my musical genre, Irish and Celtic music: violin, Irish flute & whistle, bodhran drum, guitar, McNally Strumstick, bones, spoons, congas, etc. I have a degree in landscape design, and have landscaped professionally for 18 years. I used to train dogs- Those of you who would stay with me are bound to take something away that would enrich your life... I'm sure I will as well!
