ABOUT ME

I am a musician and composer. You can learn more about me by asking. I enjoy surfing (waves), playing music, being with animals, bird watching, exploring nature, and traveling. We are on the road right now going around the world to share our music with the world at large.

I wish I had learned about Couch Surfing earlier because I would have been so happy to host people in Los Angeles... :( Or where-ever. So I apologize to all of you lovely people for not getting involved sooner!!! I am really looking forward to being able to host many of you.

I currently live in San Diego and I look forward to hosting people at my home.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am participating in this project by using this community to find places to stay around the world, and by committing to being a respectful and gracious guest in the homes of whomever I may come into contact with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done informal American couch-surfing as a touring musician, participating in the DIY indie music scene. I've slept in LOTS of different places with one of my bands, Red Pony Clock. I am also on the road in the United Kingdom right now (August 2009) and I'm couch surfing as I write.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

One of the best purchases I've ever made was a TRAVEL TOWEL from REI; they are about $20 USD and they are AWESOME. it's a microfiber towel that is basically like a giant ShamWow and you can use it to dry your entire body and it will also dry your hair and clothes and dry ITSELF really quickly. I cannot recommend this enough.
