I’m a busker. I find enjoyment from street performance, where I paint and make music in public as part of a show I call “Where 8 Mile Ends”. There’s a good chance I’ll wanna know all the places I can find a crowd to immerse my show in.

I'm also a shaman. An incredibly spiritual person, I tend to be the peace of any social circle I join. I have a vast appreciation for nature, and my fellow humans. It’s a path that chose me, and it ties in deeply with my performing arts. Feel free to ask me more about my shamanistic lifestyle :)

I try to establish genuine connections with the people I interact with because those types of bonds last a lifetime. I have good intentions, and I try to make friends wherever I go. I believe in the power of positivity, and I refuse to lift myself up at the expense of others.

I think it's also relevant to post that I'm a gay male. I'm proud of who I am, although naturally I'm less flamboyant and prefer to be subtle about my preferences. If my sexual orientation makes you uncomfortable, then I'm probably not the company for you.

I'm built for adventure - meaningful and charming encounters are never hard to find in my company.

Currently I don't have a home to host at, because my primary focus is traveling and seeing new places. Once I have a home of my own, I'll consider hosting depending on the experiences I have through Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like whatever is best for me, is not in Michigan. The only way I can discover what I need is by being around new places and people.

Interests

Art is my prime passion and call to action. I'm proficient in several mediums - although my favorite is acrylic on canvas. I try to be a homemade man because I appreciate originality and the ability to customize my favorite things. I'm even beginning to produce my own music...and one day I hope to create my own video game.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love electronic music...although that's just a very general label for what I like. I can appreciate all forms of music as long as there is emotion behind the notes.

I love action, scifi, mystery/supsense, and horror movies; the same could be said about the books that I read. However, I do love straight information, like reading books about biology or geology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited Peru in South America. I went through a right of passage to become a recognized jungle shaman, and successfully completed the journey.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A true friend that is capable and willing to venture out into the world and make the most of what we have. I'm incredibly adaptive with a wide variety of interests. I can offer a sense of peace and direction...but don't sleep on my ability to have fun either.
