I'm a musician and aspiring writer hoping to enter a new age of adventurous experience! I'm interested in our environments, be they natural or social or political or economic, people's experiences of and in those environments, and the movements (especially those that are art-infused) that spring up to say something vital about them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For a while now I've wanted to wander the map, get lost, hear people speak, jam with all kinds of musicians (literal and otherwise), and discover things that may or may not have always been under my nose. I feel the coming of an age of adventure!
