CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world in all its glory, to meet people, see ruins, taste new foods, meet nice women, look at art and create new works of art. End up living in Rome.

ABOUT ME

My entire childhood was spent traveling the world over and over, until 1985 when I landed in Los Angeles, California, and have remained ever since. My goal is to move to Rome, Florence or Milan or possibly London in the next few years.

PHILOSOPHY

"If at the end of the day you are happy then thats all that counts." "There is so much to see and not enough time."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im new but hope to become more involved over the years. I think this is a wonderful place to be on the net.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never have yet, but hope to in the next year or so.

Interests

I am a painter and a fine pencil artist as well as a musician. I play mostly 15 vintage analog synthesizers like my idol Vangelis. I am also interested in ancient roman culture and ruins or any ruins on this planet. I love Renaissance art, especially Da Vinci and Michelangelo. I love electronic and classical music. I currently own a Baroque violin and hope to play it in Rome someday, if I can learn to play it well.
