CURRENT MISSION

See the world, and pay for it with my songs and performances.

ABOUT ME

My goal is to be fearlessly open-minded. I LOVE new experiences. Also, I will answer any question (there is no topic I won't discuss) - try me!

PHILOSOPHY

Personal accountability is nice. Also, I try to never use the word "stranger," replacing it often with "friend I haven't met yet."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted several times through CS, but dozens of times "out-of-network." I am a full-time traveling musician, so I really appreciate this consolidated forum for one of my favorite activities: hosting and being hosted by new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed over 500 nights in my life - though often before CS was around. In an attempt to keep things balanced, I have made my home the informal hostel of Reno, particularly for touring musicians, though, not exclusively.

Interests

Aside from making music, I enjoy traveling, swimming/snorkeling (especially in mountain streams), hot springs, meeting all sorts of people, learning what inspires them, and watching how good parents raise good children (vice versa is interesting as well).
