CURRENT MISSION

To play music and write songs around the world

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing, adventurous risk taker! I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. I always try to do the Just thing in a situation, whatever I think that that may be... I love going to concerts, playing music, writing music, and creating new experiences.
I love spontaneity and adventure. I am a firm believer in the power of the human mind and unconditional love!

PHILOSOPHY

When faced with a decision, go into the unknown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few people and anytime I travel somewhere new, couchsurfing is my #1 option. I've surfed in Marrakech, Morocco; Liverpool, England; Portland, Oregon; Rome, Italy; Richmond, Virginia; Albuquerque, New Mexico; It's the best way to travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed on friend's couches plenty. Over the years, I've been building up my experience through this website. I have hosted a couple Londoners and a lovely guy from Germany and a sweet girl from Switzerland (see references).
