Hey, I'm Mike! - And yes, the last name is real. To my understanding it originated in France. Bonjour!

I am a remote-working technical support rep and programmer for a web design company in my hometown.

My side hustle and lifelong dream has been to make a living writing music. To that end, I have been involved in being a Commercial DJ for parties/weddings, a studio engineer, a freelance composer for marketing endeavors, a professional Trombonist, and a solo writer/performer.

Other than that, I love getting outdoor and enjoying nature, and love physical activity.

I am a ferocious reader - I read up to 16 hours per week. Subjects usually range in Business, Investing, Marketing, Self-Help, Neuroscience, Creativity, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe expanding my experiences through travel will bring lessons that no classroom can give you.

My hometown does not have many opportunities for musicians, so I aim to immerse myself in the music of other places. I am doing this for my own good - for my career.

I am still young and need to see what is out there in the world. Doing this will allow me to get uncomfortable and experience growth like nothing else.
