CURRENT MISSION

my life long quest has been to truly know who I am beyond my name and family given identity. I have gone through some severe grief in the last two years and from that I have found new growth. Traveling goes hand in hand with the unfolding of life. It is always new. Seeing things as "What is" from a point of understanding, humility and compassion. I love photography and do my own videos. Traveling is one of the most inspiring things for me in life. I like to be on the move.

ABOUT ME

I am a musician and creative type person. I compose and record my own songs. I am very open minded and love learning and new experiences and things that inspire me. I of course love to travel and meeting new people. I am currently focusing on furthering my knowledge and experience in video and film. I have been doing short documentarys and films for the past few years. Clay animation has been a new love and extreme test of patients but very rewarding.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in being opened minded to whats out there. I have never felt like my way is the way. I love to learn! I want to know whats around that corner over there! What if I look REAALLY close!
The true eccent of things is not through judgement I think it through more close inspection of what it really is. I say live in the moment take things in as if it were the first time you have ever experienced it. It can be hard when your in a routine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Finding an afordable place to stay can be hard in some countries. CS2 is a great way to experience a place with the help of meeting cool people who are familiar with the area. I know Seattle and Tacoma quite well! there are lots of secrets travelers and tourists could easliy miss. With CS2 we can get in contace with the right type of person for the location.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had one couch surfing experience in Luzern Switzerland while on my travels in Europe. Andrea introduced me to CS2. I have also couch surfed with Andrea in Ashland Oregon.

Interests

Photography, Clay animation stop motion, I play many types from acoustic to punk rock. Drums are kind of my expertise Ive been playing sense I was 13. I have also been playing guitar almost as long. I live to be inspired. It finds me half the time and I find it other times. I always know that traveling will inspire me. I think when I am inspired I feel like my mind expands and I start to feel like a new person. Being stagnant and falling into a routine has always become UNINSPIRING!
