CURRENT MISSION

I'm a PhD student in musicology, looking to travel as much as possible on a student's budget. My girlfriend and I will be traveling together this summer, in Belgium, Czech Republic, and Germany.

ABOUT ME

Well, I studied classical music at university; I play the upright bass. Music is my passion. I'm always playing, listening, or going to concerts.
I lived in Japan for about 4 years. I spent 2 years on a small island before moving to Hiroshima city. I loved it there.

I'm now in Chicago, USA, working on a PhD.

PHILOSOPHY

I strongly believe in Karma, and if you do good, and help people out, you will be rewarded at some point down the road.
I'm also a socialist at heart, so the concept of this website appeals to me.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Japan is an expensive country to visit. If I was able help someone's trip by shaving off of their hotel bills, then I was happy to do so. I met some great people who were traveling around the world and I was happy to offer a free place for them in Hiroshima. I'm traveling to Europe in July, 2015 with my girlfriend and we are hoping to meet great people through couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a number of people in Hiroshima. As of yet, have not surfed myself but we are looking to in July, 2015.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Possibly the coolest trip I've taken was spending a week rafting down the Grand Canyon. That is a remarkable place.
