Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd be happy to help with cooking cleaning, errands/transport, babysitting, and perhaps more during surf stays (ask!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First timer. Couch surfed a couple friends' houses while traveling out west, but not through this site.

Interests

camping, motorcycle trips, good food, live music, yoga and tai chi, manic tricksterism, nature therapy, music/noise improv/experiments, ambling around/traveling, spending time alone or with only a few good people (introvert), buying second hand, laughing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove across the country in a car that matches me in age.

Lost my marbles, the whole bag full, and found some new ones.

Wrote a piano composition and then forgot how most of it goes.

Sit with people going through difficult trips at music festivals in my spare time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Know a bit about nutrition/wellness, cooking, motorcycle riding, music theory and equipment, philosophy/psychology electrical wiring, drink mixing and more. I'm a jack of all trades kinda guy.
