I am a musician touring the world and taking every opportunity to enjoy life and learn. I perform Indian classical music and fusion on the 20 stringed Indian slide guitar, have a couple CDs out and spend about half my year in India, the other half in my home in VT.

I love to garden and hike and of course
Travel. Open minded, I'm interested in all types of people. I don't need any hand holding from hosts, experienced traveler.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used this site to find someone to stay with when I went to the African music festival in Montreal this past year. It was a great experience. I've also couch surfed in Delhi when I wanted to see a different part of the city than where I usually stay.

In general when traveling it's always better to stay with local people, you make great connections and get a better perspective on the place!
