Hello!

I am a world traveler, music maker and chill guy from Los Angeles, CA. Walking through & exploring cities I've never been to, sampling (preferably spicy) ethnic foods I've never tasted, sipping local beers, experiencing live local music everywhere, even better...playing/jamming with other musicians all over the world (I'm a professional bass player), all while connecting/chilling/relaxing with cool new people anywhere! I'm a very open and social person...love drinking strong coffee in cool places, discussing ideas. I love discovering art. I also love staying with people in new places that can show me all these things :) Maybe you want to stay at my place in LA sometime??

See ya out there!
Mike
