CURRENT MISSION

I want to be exposed to the various sights, smells, tastes, people, and world opinion. I want to feel insignificant in a profound journey.

ABOUT ME

I'm unsatisfied living a stagnant life, and yet I love home, friends and family. I have worked in and around music my whole adult life. I'm thrilled about art and artists and do whatever I can to surround myself by and support them. I dream of being a master of expression myself, and yet I really only speak English, however I will not hesitate to attempt to learn a language wherever I am.

PHILOSOPHY

absorb life, accept and embrace change however hard it may be. Turn suffering into education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hopefully with an available couch! They are pretty comfy too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have enjoyed the life as a couch surfer on multiple occasions throughout my life, as well as have provided one to friends in need. I've traveled across the US 3 or 4 times and certainly have experienced the best and worst there is to offer. I will share some wisdom... If there is a free flying parrot or parakeet it is best to sleep in a helmet as their beaks are hard and pointy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a gun at my head. not in a good way. not a fun story or one I think about often.

A few of my favorite experiences have been touring with an amazing indie rock band, Metric, in western Canada for where I had never seen and traveling to japan and experience such a different culture and wonderful people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am still learning. I am currently trying to view the world from as objective and unassuming view as possible. I am always surprised by peoples actions in positive and certainly negative ways, however I attribute this to the beauty of life, however confusing. I want to attribute to the positives. You can often find me contently thinking.
