CURRENT MISSION

Performing music across the U.S.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about living life as honestly as I can, which to me means pursuing music as much as possible, treating others with kindness and respect, and trying to make choices that will have the least damaging (or ideally most healing) effects on the world. I help build, invigorate, support, and participate in creative communities. I can enjoy everything from dancing to board games. Non-judgmental, non-dramatic, at times quiet and others boisterous, and curious about everything.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience life and make art without hurting anyone else, maintain a humble confidence, promote health through laughter, and always be willing to change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing through Germany, I witnessed firsthand the (exceptional) kindness of strangers. 2008 & 2011. The best times were spent with my hosts.

Hosted once in 2009, it was a great experience and I hope to be able to do it again someday.
