CURRENT MISSION

Keep composing and making my way around to various parts of the world.

ABOUT ME

I am easy-going, self-reliant, quiet when I need to be, and a social person. I enjoy music, cooking, and I enjoy learning. I don't mind getting my hands dirty in the sense of building things, doing yard work, or various other hands on jobs. Although I am pretty relaxed I am very serious about how I use my time, that is something that we never get back, money on the other hand comes and goes.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in actively choosing how I live each day.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy all styles of music in some sense or another. Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath, Ravel, MGMT, Django Reinhardt, Billie Holiday, Iron Maiden, Rush, Yes, Bach, Stravinsky, Eric Satie, Chopin, Debussy.

Film: Die Wand, Tarentino, V for Vendetta, Braveheart, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Wall, Dawn of the Dead, Signs, Das Leben Der Anderen, Ziemlich Beste Freunde.

Books: The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Cloud Atlas, Diary, A Song of Ice and Fire, many dealing with subjects of music and music theory, I read many biographies as I am interested in how people lead their lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Literally moved to another continent with just a backpack and managed to establish myself as a self-employed artist!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about music! Share stories of travel, or running your own business, (or how to navigate immigration systems!) Guitar (from heavy metal to classical), bagpipes, music theory, music composition/song writing, orchestration, and English as a second language.

I'd love to see some jazz-clubs, eat good food, but also be productive when I can!
