About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the journey through life while making a living as musicians! Taking time to enjoy people, animals & the environment. Appreciate all of life's moments fully!!!

ABOUT ME

We are a couple living in New York. We met in school & have been together 14 years now. Very happy pursuing all sorts of things, mostly in the field of music. We started a chamber music group called Sonic Escape. We book tours all over the US and Canada & like traveling about playing for new audiences. We both adore animals and, when we drive places, bring along our 2 little cats. We enjoy meeting new people & having a good chat about whatever.

PHILOSOPHY

Have as much fun as possible, while not harming people/places/animals. Bring to the world & receive from it as much joy as possible. Enjoy everything so that work & play feel the same!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Look forward to meeting new people & exchanging ideas & good cheer. That's about it...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've hosted quite a few people in our apartment in the 12 years we've lived here. Since it's in NYC, it's a popular destination. Haven't done anything through CS but joined for our upcoming Iceland trip. Would love to meet new people that want to be met! In the past, we've also stayed at many people's houses while touring & often become good friends.

Interests

Skiing (snow/water), hiking, swimming (HOT SPRINGS, too!), rollerblading, going on an adventure of any sort, organizing or not organizing something fun, having a nice chat, traveling, definitely MOVIES & books (that goes for everyone, I'm sure)

Music, Movies, and Books

Every person I know loves music etc. but I'll list a few random things I've adored.

Movies/TV:
Into the Wild
The Return (Russian)
Gasland (US Doc)
The Incredibles
Most Cable Series (The Wire, Sopranos, Six Feet Under etc.)
The Lives of Others
Girl with Dragon.../Let the Right One In (Swedish)
Kickass
Everything!

Music:
"Forever Young": sung by Audra Mae
"Hallelujah": sung by Jeff Buckley
Enjoy all genres, just depends on what it is.
I knew a dog who loved all music except 'Happy Birthday': he would growl & bark as soon as you started singing it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like the overall vibe of many people's profiles. So generous & fun!
