CURRENT MISSION

To play music in as many countries as I can and meet tons of lovely people along the way!

ABOUT ME

I'm a professional musician. I tour mostly the USA and Europe (for now!) and I play both as a solo artist and with my band. Right now I'm playing about 100 dates a year - exhausting but fun. Let's see...I'm a Virgo, and I think maybe that says it all. I can be a little crazy and a little compulsive...I love to laugh, to discuss, to sing and play my guitar, to read, to discuss the things I've read, to travel...I'm detail-oriented, which makes me a sometimes-exasperating but always useful travel partner. :)

PHILOSOPHY

You can always leave a place better than you found it, and the same goes for people - and I don't mean changing a person, but rather changing something FOR them in a positive way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm more of a traveler than a host (that's my job's fault) but I'm making new friends in every country I visit, and spreading the word about couch-surfing to everyone I meet! I love it!
