About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a good person

ABOUT ME

Hello! Just a little bit about me. I'm a saxophone player and music teacher, I love to explore and I tend to like artsy stuff. I'm very laid back and generally balance my time between working on music stuff and hanging out with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

To try to be as good as I can be to people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few couches and have had great experiences. I think couchsurfing is one of the best things to come from the internet. I'm hoping to do quite a bit more surfing and also am hoping to host. My girlfriend and I are setting up a separate page.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my first couchsurfing experience was in Memphis Tennessee. I was there with my friend David from Switzerland. We stayed with some of the nicest people I've met. I surfed in to Santa Cruz and stayed for a few nights at my now good friend Byron's place. i also met my wonderful friend Nathan and his girlfriend and joined his band that left me in Santa Cruz for a few months.
