CURRENT MISSION

To meet amazing people in amazing places and do amazing things!
To make connections, inspire and be inspired, learn and grow, and contribute to making the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

When I was a kid, I used to pretend that some invisible person could see through my eyes, and it was my job to show them a good time. Weird, huh? I savor a good question like a fine wine.

I am surrounded by magical things, to hang upside down, swing from, blow into and make sound, float on, amplify, fertilize, illuminate, reflect, plant.

I like to host, and share with my guests in latest creative projects. I run two creative artist businesses which occupy much of my time. Stay with me if you are interested in experiencing the world of a working artist and musician, can utilize Uber/lyft, public bikes or public transportation or rent a car, and have more creative interest than just sightseeing. I am a doorway into a creative underground of LA, and I must also be a doorkeeper!

PHILOSOPHY

You can't take it with you! Synchronicities are signs that you are on the path. The body is a temple. Don’t be fooled by charisma. Every moment is precious. It is funny how similar are the words obvious and oblivious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met Circus Troupe performing at a local festival, and I invited them all to stay at my place. The brought their school bus and 13 Northern California style performers, and stayed with me for 3 days. It was crazy fun!

I’ve met some very interesting people as their host, although one man was offended that I took him to a party and give him some of my far out clothes to wear. Even though people treated him like a rock star at the party, he thought I was trying to make him look foolish. Fools have more fun though.

I was led to the top of a crazy mountain by a 70 year old cancer survivor in Sedona, that was my first couch surf as a guest, it was epic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make wings and flutes. I like to see people open up and spread their wings, and dance in the beautiful atmosphere! I make and play flutes, mostly primitive, and I like to share music with music lovers. I like to share my instruments with appreciative souls, as little magical musical tokens that can get you into special places!

I want to learn about beautiful natural places to visit. I want to learn about achieving higher states of conciousness. I want to learn about healthy living, folklore, impossible coincidences, accidental discoveries, and opportunities to live in secret paradises!
