CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to explore all of Europe, a little at a time, while I'm still reasonably young enough to enjoy it!

ABOUT ME

An old soul who keeps young at heart through a fierce passion for music, I am interested in exploring the musical and folklorical richness of Europe while satiating a tangential desire to learn more of history and culture. I enjoy reading, photography and playing either my guitar or my mandolin (they fight over me!), and I am interested in learning of kindred spirits worlwide.

My dream is to make musically-inspired friends wherever I go, sharing musicianship and ideas and broadening my understanding of one of life's greatest gifts of expression.

I am aware I may be a bit older than most of those whose company I would attract (because of this), but I'm not going to let that stop me! :-)

PHILOSOPHY

We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. You have an inner song -- share it!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not yet started to participate in the CS2 project but am eager to learn more. This may develop once I've started my traveling exploits in earnest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been on this site for a year or so, but only now am I getting a real chance to explore it. I hope to become a more active member in the years to come.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I took a leave of absence from work in 2006 to join a friend for a 5 1/2 week vacation/tour of eastern US as a performing musical duo. We saw a lot of family and friends, played a lot of cool (small) places, and while we didn't make much money, net costs for the vacation came close to zero. It is possible, if you're craetive...
