CURRENT MISSION

To blow my saxophone.

ABOUT ME

I play folk-rock-raggae on guitar and banjo. I also play drums, piano, harmonica, tin whistle, bass guitar, saxophone and sing and write songs. Bob Dylan and Bob Marly are my biggest heros. I grew up in a really really small town in Nova Scotia and was drawn to music as a child. My father was a lobster fisherman, so I grew up on a boat. My parents took me to see my family in Nigeria when I was fifteen. I loved travelling, always have, but seeing Africa and stopping in London made me want to see more! I did a student exchange in Germany, and upon graduating high school, I started hitchhiking. I've done Canada four times now, and still love it.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for a good time, I believe one can manifest anything good or bad, and music is my key to the enlightenment of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I see no borders and live my dreams. I bring music everywhere I go, and respect all 'round.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Used to crash on couches all the time when visiting friends in cities. Went to live with a friend, Jaron Tripp, in Germany once and crashed on his couch for three months. He introduced me to couchsurfing. I hosted lots of great people when I had a place in Victoria B.C. and even went on a random road trip through couchsurfing once.

I think the greatest piece of abstract art ever made is clouds in the sky.
