CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Play music, pick stuff up and leave other things behind along the way

ABOUT ME

-Santa Cruz, California native with Ukranian, Belorussian and Jewish culture on one side of the family and Egyptian + (Moroccan, Spanish) on the other...and I've STILL got room for adding more cultural identities to my heart as I travel.

-Love travelling, languages, food, cooking and music and try to do all of the above and learn more about the above wherever I go.

-There are few things that really disinterest me, I just like hearing about new things,and learning new skills

-I'm a musician and play "World Blues and Folk" because folk styles around the world are pretty similar (content wise), just gotta change the language and beat. So, I mix my passions together. Music+Language+Travel.

PHILOSOPHY

-It's never too late to start or learn anything
-It's never too early to start beefing up your obituary.
-Pick things up, and leave things behind along the way
-Find high places to look down from

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
