I'm sort of from the Pacific Northwest, but I've lived all over the United States. I did the 9-5 day-job thing for a while, but now I'm playing and teaching music instead and I find it much more fulfilling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an opportunity to be generous (when I'm able to host) and an opportunity to see the world through different perspectives. I can learn a lot from good conversations with interesting people, many of whom have a presence here.
