CURRENT MISSION Trying to stay curious. ABOUT ME I love music very much. I study Eastern European music, and am learning classical piano (mostly Chopin). I used to support my travel expenses solely by busking on the street; now I mostly play at weddings or in the background of TV shows. I've experienced an incredible amount of wonderful hospitality in my travels so far and want to give back to travelers as best I can while I have a spare futon to offer. PHILOSOPHY Less talk more walk (hoping to get better at this...)
Fluent in English
Learning French

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING My doors are usually open to travelers in need. I'm a single dad and sometimes my son isn't in the mood for guests, so I sometimes have to say no. However, I'm happy to help you navigate LA's craziness and hopefully you will find some real beauty here. It's hidden, but there's a lot of it! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Wonderful so far
