About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teach me something! I´m all ears!

ABOUT ME

I'm a free spirit looking for all types of knowledge and friends. I love to travel and I've been a musician(drummer) for almost 15 years. I´m crazy about music, all types, all genres. I used to manage a record store in California and I've played in bands in Ohio, California, and Texas. I've reached a crossroads recently and music is taking a back seat for the first time in my life. I'm currently backpacking south america in search of some clarity or perhaps a new way of looking at things.

PHILOSOPHY

"Being a good person isn't a convience it's a way of life" I thoroughly believe in mutual respect in all aspects of life. I try my hardest to show respect to all people, to this earth, and even things I don´t understand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS so my participation so far is limited, but I think CS brings the world closer together, with the idea of understanding each other better.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like I said I'm new to CS so I have next to none, besides knowing a few people on here.
