I like to travel and perform and/or listen to music, learn about new areas, meet people and have good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and explore the world through the stories of travelers.

Interests

I play oboe, sing, love to play games, drink and be merry and upend the status quo by growing the Green Party in Maine, where the party has achieved commendable success.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Australian band, The Church, is my favorite rock group, closely followed by the likes of Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath, Dead Kennedys, and plenty of classic rock, punk, metal, grunge and other rock acts. I also like classical music (play the oboe), jazz and any music that is 'good.'
Favorite books: On the Road and Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, Be Here Now by Ram Dass, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.
