About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Shakin' them strings!

ABOUT ME

More on the subject of myself... I am 24 years old since April. I have played music independently as well as with bands in the states for around 7 years. I play guitar, bass, drums, some piano, and try very hard to sing :)...sort of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type musician. I have ran all over Europe during the breaks this last semester At Salzburg College, and hope to share some music with any/every surfer interested. I referee soccer (football,i know i know haha) for the park district at home, and played for a long time although I don't anymore. I am a business management student, although I have no true dedication to this major and am entirely indecisive, and plan on changing my major when I go home to music business/audio engineering. I have a huge family and am used to a chaotic environment. Extremely outgoing, personable, and an overall very approachable person, I LOVE to meet other people and I value this as the most important reason for me to be in this world

PHILOSOPHY

I live life with one very very dominating priority held top on the list, over ANY other thing: I am here not for the purpose of serving any higher being, not to only "see" the world and all it has to offer, not to spend every waking moment in the pursuit of anything made of paper, wood, or steel, but to find the PEOPLE in this world that I can share something with as a fellow human, with the common theme of humanity in mind: People love people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by taking complete advantage of the oppurtunities to coucsurf while I have been in Europe, and plan on hosting when I get back!
