About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be creative, write music, experience life in a different part of the world, and to meet kind, fun people

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing, kind, thoughtful, passionate, giving person. I love to have a good time. I am using my time in the next several months to travel Europe, (mainly France and England) trying to make my living with music, as well as create the last half of my album which I plan to record at the end of this year. I am very liberel, and easy-going. I am happy to suit myself to my surroundings...and am more than capable of doing so. I love to sing, and play the guitar, I love busking in the streets, I love listening to new music.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life for today, I love all those I have met, as they have come into my life for better or for worse, but every step of this journey of life is what makes me unique. I believe there is a solution to every problem that can benefit all parties in some way. I believe life in all of its dimensions exists only NOW, therefore look to the future, become a forward thinker, and learn from the past, but do not dwell in it. I believe music is my purest form of expression. I believe my heart and my love shines through every chord I strum, every note I sing, and every word that passes my lips. Good exists in those who see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. I will play music until my last days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan on being a part of the host experience moreso when I return to the states. I want to show that I can make the experience of my travels just as enjoyable for them as it is for me. I believe I have a charisma rare to this world and a determination to make myself, and the world better on a day to day basis with the music that I create and deliver.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My family hosted a young French boy for one month many years ago. He was very nice, and he also hosted my brother for 1 month with his family in France. It was a pleasurable experience for me and I love and support the ideas and virtues behind this community.

Interests

I love food!! I love new music. I love to watch sports, though I have no preferences for teams at the moment....
I love to have a good time, I love to host a good time. I love to play in bars, pubs, restaruants, weddings/parties...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job to move to France last year and was able to sustain myself with music! This was one of the most incredible experiences I ever had...and now I'm doing it again...I believe true passion lies within ourselves, and we need to reach out to others to truly experience this joy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am well educated musically, and I would love to share my knowledge with anyone I have the pleasure of surfing with! I love language, and culture, and learning how people manage to live their everyday lives in their own unique ways. I respect the lifestyle of others, and try to never push mine on another. I love to observe, discuss, and disagree with people....it makes me feel alive.
