CURRENT MISSION

Figure shit out

ABOUT ME

I live for sharing good ideas, good music, good laughs, and good times with good others. I travelled through USA, Asia and Europe for 3 years through hitchhhiking, wwoofing, busking, work exchanging and couchsurfing. I then ended up staying in Budapest, Hungary for 2 years living as a musician playing Gypsy Jazz and Transylvanian Folk music. Came back to the States and moved back and forth between here and Europe for the last 2 years touring with various bands, working on pot farms and gardening for old ladies.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy evolves quite frequently the more I see but if I could describe it briefly it'd be an unstable melange of Zen/Tibetan Buddhism sprinkled with tons of Western skepticism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting other couchsurfers wherever I go (hosts and travelers) and eventually hosting once I settle somewhere

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met great hosts and travelers in the US, Asia and Europe.
