Seeing central and southeastern Europe on a bicycle with my wife Sarah https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/sarah-ellis-10

I make music of all genres and love discovering stuff I've never heard. Even better if you made it yourself!

I also make art and take photographs. Looking for inspiration everywhere I go and constantly blown away. It's our first time in Europe and we welcome any and all suggestions/tips!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We camp a lot on our bike travels but nothing compares to meeting people with the same enthusiasm for adventure and new experiences. We also stay with people on warmshowers.com for the same reason. The world feels like a scary place a lot of the time but the kindness we receive from complete strangers reminds me that everything's pretty alright after all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Constantly on the search for new and interesting music. Right now currently into making and listening to ambient field recordings. Lawrence English, William Basinski, Grouper, things like that. On our bike tour to Europe this summer I plan to collect field recordings along the way, turning it into a field recording sort of "journal".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For my honeymoon my wife and I rode a tandem bicycle from Austin to New Orleans. The southern U.S. is...not very used to bicycles and not the safest place in the world to ride. Still one of the greatest adventures we've ever had!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all kinds of things about making and recording music. And if you need a little jingle, I'm your guy...
Handy with all sorts of things, including fixing bikes, woodworking, and certain house maintenance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a fairly decent cook and can make dinner for us all if you want! Can also bring beers along to get the conversation flowing...
