CURRENT MISSION

Really Live, learn new ways I can give and contribute. Also learning about other cultures, especially first hand.

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy who grew up (is growing up) in Washington. When i was in grade school, I wanted to be a Fantasy Novelist ala Tolkien, I made my own maps too. High School, started writing poetry , which evolved into learning guitar and writing songs came naturally.
I've been gong to college in waves since HS, but I've found I really love to get out and play music, so I've been geting my education other ways. My greatest adventure lately was going to Mexico with my friend Lewis, we made a lot of new friends, then we took trains planes and automobiles to get back to WA, including times in LA and Eugene. I love the Travel Bug.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and Good good friends. Really be there for people and you never need to worry when times get tough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly I travel and bring song wherever I go. Living in Seattle right now, I'm also available to show people around or direct them to some good eats or a good band to see.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When we stayed with the Lopez family in Izcalli/Mexico City. Their oldest daughter was in love with one of my best friends, that's probably why they put up with us for 9 days! They Practically adopted us, we helped with chores, and played with the children, had meals together. I'm a wandering soul who spent the first 21 years of life in one house, so i think part of me still aches for the domestic thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the Sea Lion caves on the Oregon Coast. You go to the top of this coastal cliff and take an elevator into the earth. it ends at a platform, in the higher reaches of a huge cavern, the far end a mammoth opening where the Ocean rushes in. on all these little cave islands are resting Sea Lions, lots of them. Their calls echo all throughout the caverns. it was pretty amazing.
