I am a citizen of the world :) I love people and dream of being a lifelong nomad, living with the earth and seeing all of its beauty. I have lived in Akron, Ohio my entire life, rebelling against the rules and identities and "facts" that freeze us in time and keep us from being alive. Life is a gift best shared with love and graceful acceptance, only these things can we truly carry along for the ride. I like to write poetry and freestyle rap, play guitar and sing, and I believe sometimes the most broken voice can soothe a soul or change the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very grateful for the time and friends and beautiful experiences I have had in my birth city Akron, Ohio. But, since I was very young, I dreamed of traveling the world and interacting with people of every culture. Hearing their languages and dialects, tasting their food and drinks, seeing the beauty that they cherish and live for every day. I now desire nothing more than to have my ear to the streets, feel the pulse of the earth, and sing and dance along.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have worked a permaculture farm in the mountains of Costa Rica! What a land!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach singing (from the heart not technical) guitar (both) songwriting, and general music theory/improvisational sounds, all the worlds a stage and i like to keep tappin along to it :)

I would equally love to share sounds of any kind and hear your take on our fair mistress 'Musique'. I'm also generally interested in everything I have ever encountered, especially if it is forward minded and creative.

I will share my thoughts and writings and improvisation and songs and love and compassion and ears and eyes and soul to any that may desire such fleeting things

What I Can Share with Hosts

Momentum, stories, compassion, philosophy of life, anything that will serve them and myself towards higher understanding and enlightenment of all.

On a more physical level, I am very tidy, love to cook, and still got a young set of legs and strong back, so I will definitely help with housework and any miscellaneous chores that need done while I am around.
