CURRENT MISSION

Hello everyone! Serious music freak/DJ and massage therapist from San Francisco. Passionate about exploring Europe and as much of the rest of the world as possible and very excited about making new friends in the process.

ABOUT ME

I'm a California boy, having lived there most of my life. I've traveled around Europe a bit and I've really enjoyed every place I've seen - particularly Barcelona, London & Berlin. I would love to spend more time in those places and see many more parts of Europe as well. Besides traveling, my other main passion is music which I have been involved in as a dj for the past ten years in San Francisco. I am always looking for new opportunities to play for crowds all over the world. I'm also a trained massage therapist specializing in Swedish and deep tissue bodywork. I would even be happy to provide my services for free to my hosts. How can anyone resist such an offer?:)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the importance of pursuing one's passions in life - if you can turn them into your work, so much the better. The things i value the most are quite simple: my health and my loved ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am traveling in europe and checking out various cities where I might want to live for a period of time. I am currently sub-letting my apartment in San Francisco to friends. I am looking forward to offering my home in SF for fellow travelers in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was fortunate enough to stay with a friend in London about a year ago. It really helped immensely because as everyone knows London is super expensive. I wouldn't have been able to enjoy nearly as much of the city if my friend hadn't provided me with a free place to stay. Over the years I have had friends crash with me from out of town or just folks who were in between apartments. Its a good feeling to be able to help someone out this way. It can really offer peace of mind if someone is in a crunch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was fortunate enough to visit Zimbabwe in the 90's (before things really fell apart). I went on safari along the Zambezi River. I have never experienced anything else remotely like this and i have a strong desire to see more of Africa as a result.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite enthusiastic to share my knowledge of music with anyone who is interested. I'm also happy to impart my knowledge and experience as a massage therapist
