CURRENT MISSION

Connect with people! Live life, travel lots, take risks, and write songs.

ABOUT ME

Ambitious, passionate, zealous for life, and absolutely in love with music and people. Everything else is peripheral. Lover of dogs, cats, and all things fluffy. Entrepreneur with a fierce sense for business and networking. Social media guru. Train traveler. Vodka connoisseur. Weight lifter. Sucker for art, artists, nature, canyons, and smiles.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Work hard and don't be a dick.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, conversations, travel stories, and a deep interest in who you are and what your story is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent most of 2016-2017 touring the United States, during which time I exclusively couchsurfed or slept in my car. It's been such a treat meeting people all over the country, sharing meals with them, hearing how they see the world, and petting their pets. Sharing a sleeping space with someone is profoundly intimate. I've never had the means to host couchsurfers myself, so I tremendously admire those who do so.

Interests

I love art in every medium. Music, poetry, prose, theater, film, painting...you get it. I fall irrevocably in love with everything alive, especially pets and plants--and, inevitably, people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I keep meaning to flesh this section out, yet I never do.

Movies I love lately are Frank, No Country for Old Men, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Logan, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (SO GOOD?!), It Follows, Goon, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Just Friends.

The Alchemist and the Little Prince are, of course, phenomenal. My two favorite books I keep rereading are "The Art of Asking" by Amanda Palmer and "How To Be A Woman" by Caitlin Moran. Road life affords me lots of time to listen to audiobooks--I've just finished reading most of Neil Gaiman's works, and am moving on to Terry Pratchett.

My music taste changes, as it does. Lately it's James Vincent McMorrow, Joseph, Penny & Sparrow, Jordan McKampa, Sam Cooke, Billy Idol, Temple of the Dog , Imogen Heap, Nirvana, and Kina Grannis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I toured the US as a solo musician with my guitar and a Prius!
