Hello! I am a 32 year old musician and educator. I teach guitar, bass, drums, piano, ukulele, songwriting and theory. I am a father of two (a boy and a girl). They are both teenagers and in high school! I love traveling and playing music. I am very friendly, outgoing, clean, and respectful. I am new to the Couchsurfing website, but not new to couchsurfing! I love animals, nature, creativity, art and chess. I am looking forward to meeting new people on my travels and sharing experiences with amazing people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling to Japan in September (the 14th-26th) and will be looking for places to stay. After that, who knows?!
