About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Aiding artists, musicians, and progressive thinkers

ABOUT ME

Music, electronics, travel!

I enjoy traveling and prefer to pop in a new place for months at a time. On occasion I find a cozy place to settle down for a while. Sometimes the city, sometimes a remote forest with only the birds for neighbors. Most recently this is Tel Aviv and San Francisco.

I am inspired by creativity. You will rarely see me without my guitar and I enjoy the piano and whatever else looks like it might make interesting sounds. Circuit boards and musical gadgets are also hobbies of mine.

Places I have not been but will go soon:
Mali/Senegal; Argentina/Brasil; Madrid/Barcelona

Places that are wee bits of home for me:
New Mexico, Tel Aviv, San Francisco, Munchen, Galway, Portland, Seattle

PHILOSOPHY

Life is relative. It can grow to be an intriguing and limitless thing, or its bounds can be drawn with our predispositions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I continue to have really great couch surfing experiences, and even some that have lasted for months at a time. The generosity of strangers never ceases to impress me.
