ABOUT ME

I am a musician, filmmaker, thinker, and committed adventurer. I am eager and open to most anything I am presented with. So let's go!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've served as both couch surfing host and guest for years, with and without the formality of the website. I'm committed to expanding what my friend Jamie calls "the trans-continental home town."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in China, and across the entirety of Russia. I had nothing but incredible experiences. I cooked meals, went city exploring, partying, and dancing with my hosts, and most importantly learned so much from all of them.

Interests

DIY ethics and praxis in music, touring, cinema, etc. Cooking. Urban and wilderness exploration. Swimming in lakes/rivers/seas. Crawling through caves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed mountains in Mongolia, I've swam in lake Baikal, I've toured the United States playing black metal music, I've wandered the streets of St. Petersburg till dawn, and I've stood amidst rain and nearly impenetrable fog in the streets of Lausanne. I've done many things in my life that have left me in near speechless wonder... to have to pick only two or three seems like an injustice to the infinite joys of life.
