Hi! My name's Mac. I am a musician and a traveler. Most recently I hitched around Baja California Sur, Mexico. In July and August this year, Europe.

I like to see the other side of the places I visit so I can understand the real situation of the people living there. And I live to share folk songs and to write the very best songs I can write about living in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope in my travels to establish communication with people who know the world in ways I don't. There are stories everywhere that permit violence to the Earth and its inhabitants. Seeing the world for myself, I am developing a politics of peace.
