About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To plant the earth a new lung this tree-planting season, then maybe Burning Man, maybe Shambhala, maybe Bangkok, maybe music school...too many possibilities.

ABOUT ME

Born in Toronto, moved to small town South Africa at the age of six. Now I am back (Canada) to see what opportunities arise and also to see how many wacky musicians I can make music with.

PHILOSOPHY

There is only room for love in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I add a great vibe to any situation. I feel I have a great story to tell and I am keen on hearing other people's stories. I have a couch for someone keen on traveling to small town South Africa in the town of Nylstroom - now known as Modimolle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing session has yet to commence.

Interests

Musical instruments (guitars, djembe's, tabla's, didgeridoo's); music festivals, camping, hiking, climbing, yoga, reading, weird people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music genres - Jazz; Electronic (be it trance/down-tempo/trip-hop/drum&bass); Blues; Opera - I could type the entire day...every genre has both good and bad.

Movies - Fight Club; Django Unchained; Glengarry Glen Ross; Evil Dead (standard procedure)

Books - anything by Oscar Wilde, Stephen King, Lawrence Hill...I also read anything pertaining to music gear - amp voltages etc get my blood pumping, lol.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit a comfy sales job in Markham (Canada's Silicon Valley) to live in a tent for three months and plant trees.

Teach, Learn, Share

People who open up easily and want to share their story - some people struggle to share info about themselves. I want to hear stories from anyone who has been to music festivals I have and have not been to.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Mozambique, Netherlands, South Africa, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, South Africa
