About Me

We don't host surfers with 0 references. Sorry! It's just not a good fit for our home. You can best obtain your first reference by hosting someone or by asking friends who couchsurf.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have great conversations and learn from others, to travel inexpensively and to offer others those benefits when they are in El Paso. I love cultural exchanges, but even if you just need a bed and a shower, I'm happy to share what I have!

I like pretty much all music, from polka to Beatles to Indian classical.

Non-fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bike 650km across Sweden, couchsurfing and camping!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll gladly teach guitar and cello. I'm also knowledgable about computer/internet things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll play guitar, bass, or cello with you! I was "John Lennon" in a Beatles tribute band for many years and I know a few songs still :-) Other than that, I hope I can share some good conversation!
