About Me

*PLEASE NOTE:* I ask that you please request at least 2 weeks in advance.

I am a bilingual songwriter with a passion for music, travel, cycling, and spontaneity. I love showing my home town to travelers from all over the world. If you stay with me, I will work to make your time here a memorable one.

I make it my goal always to take my time brewing the coffee, as patience counts for quality in life.

If you speak another language, I may ask you to try and teach me a little.

If you play an instrument, bring it, I enjoy a good jam session.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted and surfed numerous times around the US and Europe. Both sides of the CS experience are truly wonderful!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've street performed in Dozens of different cities in 10 different countries. While in Barcelona, the majority of my travel expenses were covered by street music, which meant some nights were spent sleeping on the beach.I've biked long distances along the California Coast, my longest trip was from Fullerton to San Diego, a total trip of 120 miles (200 Kilometers).
