CURRENT MISSION

to experience as much as i so desire in my limited time on this planet & to have no regrets.

ABOUT ME

i am a musician of 26 years. music is my driving force in life. i play guitar, bass, piano, flute, and i sing. i write and record my own music and currently play in 2 different touring bands, one out of Claremont, CA (where i live) and the other out of NYC. i feel so 'at home' when i'm on the road touring with a band. i am a gypsy at heart. when i'm not playing music or touring with a band, i like hiking, walking, being outdoors, traveling, cooking, drinking craft beer, long drives, writing, live music, comedy shows, road trips, adventures of any kind, and seeing/experiencing new things in general. i follow a vegan diet but am 100% non-judgemental of the diets anyone else may choose. over the past year, i've found that eating a mostly raw food diet works wonders for me. however, with so much travel, i'm attempting to learn to be more of a 'freegan.' i love animals & care for 2 cats, matt & stella. i love to laugh & smile and i think i'm pretty funny ;). i am a very passionate person which one tends to notice immediately in me. i am easily adaptable. i tend to get along with anyone i meet, which says very much since i meet so many people regularly. hope to meet you.

PHILOSOPHY

i am agnostic & try to use 'maybe logic' as much as possible. despite my inherently passionate nature & my ability to find meaning in everything, i try not to take anything too seriously in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i am brand new to CouchSurfing & have yet to participate. i am out of town the majority of the year, but when i am in town, my couch can be made available. i'm just 30 miles east of Los Angeles & live right next to the train station that goes right to downtown.
