Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i've hosted a lot of travelers and I have been hosted many times more, usually on tour with my trio Shoestring Trio in Europe and in the US. We've made friends everywhere that way and always give a little private concert to our hosts to thank them for hosting! I've also given music or guitar lessons to hosts. I try to host more and more people when I am home as another way to give back.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

many good ones as a host and as a guest. Both solo or with my trio on tour. I also have couchsurfed in Brazil.

being born, traveling the world, playing music for thousands of people, making friends for life

Insegna, impara, condividi

i love the CS experience and think sharing in this way is one way to save the world and reconnect with one another at large in more intuitive ways. it's a wonderful example of living in the internet age in an organic manner. i'm always open to learn and to teach and share.
