CURRENT MISSION

Travel from livingroom to livingroom playing music for the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a citizen of the WORLD! Born in the States (Iowa), raised in Mexico (Puebla) and currently living in Belgium.

I wanna LIVE MY DREAMS! I believe the only limits that exist are those we place upon ourselves!

I moved to Belgium when I was 15 and shortly after I picked up my first guitar. Ever since,I've built my life around it, as I'm possessed by playing music.
I adore performing and teaching myself new skills, such as playing new instruments or trying different singing voices.

I write my own songs and perform on stage and on the streets. I also teach singing/guitar/stage presence/songwriting. :)

I have become very interested in spirituality. Over the past 5 years many things have changed for me. And I got to say, I feel much lighter and happier thanks to the understanding of the power of now. Currently I'm learning to be more aware and present, to be able to enjoy life even more.

I love deep conversations, tea, acoustic music, organic healthy food, books and films....

Here's a taste of what I do musically:

PHILOSOPHY

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." - Helen Keller

Truth leaves the lies behind;
Light bids farewell to darkness;
Acceptance says goodbye to rejection;
Innocence says goodbye to shame;
Authenticity says goodbye to falsehood;
Sensitivity says goodbye to indifference;
Freedom says goodbye to slavery

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've toured the streets of France and Spain in 2011. My filmmaker friend and I made a documentary about the adventure. Here's the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XYrtXu26UY

During that trip we relied on the goodness of the people we met along the way. Sleeping on a few couches. A life changing experience! I'm looking forward to expand my horizons and have my first taste of couchsurfing around the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

SKYDIVING a year ago! Life changing!!! Couldn't say it better than Jim: "Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free." - Jim Morrison

I've toured the streets of France and Spain in 2011. My filmmaker friend and I made a documentary about the adventure. Here's the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XYrtXu26UY

The Iguazu waterfalls are definitely an amazing thing I've seen. A beautiful place!
