CURRENT MISSION

To make new friends in Europe while traveling there in May.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20 year old jazz/percussion student at the University of Texas in Arlington. I play and teach professionally in the Dallas area. Music is my passion, but I'm fascinated by people and the world around me. I have a lot of energy and am always up for doing something outdoors, or having a good conversation and learning from others.

I can be spontaneous and try to enjoy every place and person I come into contact with. I've been very blessed in my life and I want to give back the love and kindness I've received. Life is short and I don't want to spend it all on myself.

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." - C. S. Lewis

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't worry, be happy." - Bobby McFerrin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS, but I hope to meet a lot of the community this month as I travel through Europe. I would like to host people this summer if anyone needs a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I enjoy all forms of music and art. I'm interested in talking to new people and hearing where they've come from, what they believe, and where they hope to go. I also enjoy the outdoors, sports, food, movies, traveling, snowboarding, and learning new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite times was when I went snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains in Idaho. It was after school was in session so I had the whole mountain to myself. Fresh snow, good company, and beautiful surroundings.

Once on a trip to Mexico, I ate 16 tacos in one sitting because they were soooooo good. And I also got to play drums with a Mexican rock band that was playing at the restaurant. I'll never forget those tacos...

Teach, Learn, Share

Always look at what you eat before you put it in your body. Trust me.
