ABOUT ME

Composer/Guitarist/Teacher
Music has been a big part of my life. Ever since I was a little boy, I have always been humming a tune. Around the age of 13 I began playing guitar. From there I decided to study music composition in college and play guitar in a variety of bands. Once I joined a death metal band, Antagony, I finally had a reason to travel more frequently. After touring the USA and parts of Mexico over the years, I found that I loved traveling. Seeing new places and meeting interesting people has been an awesome experience and the main reason I joined CS.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want a desk job

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS website, but not to the community. I have accidentally taken part in a few CS meet ups and events with other friends who are CS members. At the moment, since I am still a full-time student and don't have a good place to host, I usually just join CS meet ups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2009, I had a great trip to Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines. This was the first time I heard about CS. I had a blast. Summer of 2011, I've been to a few meet ups in the LA area as well as met CS members in random places.
