CURRENT MISSION

To keep on singing this tune, adding a new verse every day.

ABOUT ME

Dancing and making music, bushwalking and exploring, writing and reading. These are the three corners of my life, from which everything is built. I love the world, will never tire of exploring it, and cannot wait to meet you, jam with you, swing with you, kayak rivers with you, wander through cities with you.

PHILOSOPHY

Seeking, and not losing, peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By introducing any who come to the fine city of Charleston to the wonders of its music, food, and smiling faces.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not so much, just yet. In Tasmania, I've hosted several Germans and a two Canadians--and my quality of life was drastically improved on both counts. I cannot wait to get more folks into my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just traveled fourteen thousand miles to bushwalk the daylights out of me in Tasmania.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm all about the musics. We can learn from eachother and create something new, I guarantee. When it comes to finding the courage to get out and do something new, I'm your man.
