I'm a friendly, open-minded, and well-traveled guy. I teach violin in Bangkok and have lived outside of my home state in USA for 9 of the past 11 years: New York City, China, Indonesia, and now Thailand. I love the outdoors, listening to new undiscovered music, and working out at the gym.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a good way to meet interesting people, and make traveling experience more rich/authentic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A month-long solo backpacking trip through Wyoming and Montana....another favorite trip was a month-long Buddhist kora through remote Tibetan wilderness, staying in stone huts with yak herders - so incredible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a friendly guy and a good listener. I'm open to meeting locals or travelers for a beer or coffee.

If you're interested, I am happy to teach you a lesson or two on violin or any of the stringed instruments....that's my profession.
