CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life as it happens.

ABOUT ME

I'm enjoying life every day. I find it hard to write about myself but basically, I'm relaxed and some say laid back but since I'm from NY I can also be quite tense.

I'm very quiet and friendly. I listen and enjoy sharing ideas and thoughts. I play guitar and write my own songs.

I work hard and enjoy my career.

PHILOSOPHY

I smile and observe everything. I take pieces and use them to make the world better. I enjoy people and hope they enjoy me. I don't speak unless spoken to, unless I'm in an unusual mood.

MUSIC

As a musician; I'm always writing, expanding and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

However possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have now couchsurfed in several places, including S Korea, and various places in the USA. I've hosted more people than I've surfed.

Via Couchsurfing and Workaway we've now had folks from: China, New Zealand, Poland, Germany, Scotland, the USA, Singapore, to name the ones I can remember ... and the list is growing!

Interests

Music. Definitely music. Learning about different cultures. Travelling. Interesting people, good movies, walks, hikes, scooter rides, pool, bowling and more.. I'm sure.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like foreign and independent flicks. I listen to ALL music that I like, worldly, or popular. I don't have patience or time for books sadly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled with JJ Cale. I have seen most of the United States. I have seen my family change and evolve, and grow. I have seen the world change and evolve, and grow.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have a couch for me, I have a song for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share ample space for people to sleep for one or several nights. If you are here long term, I'd prefer a workaway (work exchange) setup. If you're here just a few nights, then you're not asked to do anything but just keep up after yourself.

We can give you direction, conversation and can show you how to play Taiwanese Mahjong. We SOMETIMES can offer food if we are home but it's up to you to eat. We have 3 beds available, capacity in those are 6 total, unless you want to squeeze 3 people on a Queen bed.

Our big kitchen is available with some gas in the tank. If the gas tank empties, you need to let us know. If you cook a lot, we'd appreciate a small donation to support purchase of the next tank. :) If you cook a little, no worries.

We don't have spare towels at the moment, but this may change in time.

We have 5 story house, and if we're full up in the beds, you can bring sleeping bags and even set up a tent on our roof.

There's 2 total full bathrooms in the house available to guests. (shower, toilet). Main floor toilet is not functional. 2nd floor entirely is off limits, as that is our private living space. 5th floor shares bathroom with 4th floor.

There is a laundry machine as well, free to use. If you do a lot of laundry, same idea as the gas tank, a small donation for the water bill would be appreciated. Hang dry on the roof, or there is a laundromat about 10 minute walk from our place.

There may be more.. this is all I can think at the moment.
