CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to accomplish my musical and artistic goals. To establish myself as a successful musician and professional barista. Also to continually enhance my mental, physical, and spiritual health.

ABOUT ME

Names Matthew Williams. 27 year old artist, musician and professional barista. My passions lie in the worlds of music and specialty coffee. What drives me is my ability to create and express myself through artistic mediums. That and the skill of maintaining and preparing specialty espresso machines. I take everything I'm passionate about and use it as a holistic unit which is personally rewarding and has value to the world.

I pride myself in my passionate and boisterous personality. Being forthright and concise is what I do. Humor is one of my greatest qualities as well so if you enjoy laughing you're in luck. My astute nature and higher/compasionate intellect serve as the cornerstone for my social interactions. Alway stay curious and inquire.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy success when you have it and be patient when you don't. Nothing is forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By contributing in any way possible. Want me to sing you a song? You got it! Want me to cook you something??? Perhaps take a nature walk and discover something new? I'm down!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the Penobscot county of Maine I went cliff diving into a fresh spring. The most amazing and pure water.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic meditation for any beginners wanting to ground themselves and lift their level of consciousness! I can teach you how to write a song.

I am open to learning anything which can help me be a better human being. How to cook a dish or play a song or repair something.

I can share my music and my positive energy! I can share my knowledge of specialty coffee and machines. Check me out online, I write songs under Stray Dog.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to inspire people around the world to live their dreams, promote natural medicine/healing, promote music which is endearing, and promote specialty coffee. I also want to spread all of the love and positive vibrations I can.

I can share extensive knowledge in what I'm an expert in :)
