About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To play good music for good people

ABOUT ME

Hi! i had a couch surfing account before but it became unactive because i stopped traveling for a while. Now me and some great friends created a band called The Stowaways. We play traditional bluegrass and oldtime music, and write original songs as well. I work on large sailing ships taking grade nine students out on week lond sailing adventures in the Southern Gulf Islands. We teach them kayaking, natural history, how to sail, and how to live with one another in tight quarters and still get along. I love to sail and i live on my sailboat that i have been fixing up for the past couple years. A few years ago i used couchsurfing when i did a cycle trip from Victoria to Mexico along the west coast,and i had great times and met great people. Now that we plan to travel again i decided to create a profile for the band. I hope to meet yall, and if you would like to check our tunes out feel free to at www.myspace.com/windpoweredtour
This summer we are setting sail on a wind powered tour. why dont ya come along!
Thanks!

In San Diego my friend and i needed a place to stay but all the hostels were booked because of a nerological confrence. we ended up staying at a frat house that had a massive party...Ha quite an experience for Canadians that have not gone to univercity, and experianced the Fraternity thing...
