About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Continue learning, exposing myself to new ways of thinking through travel

ABOUT ME

I am a traveling musician, teacher and learner of languages, enjoying this beautiful world while living with a light footprint. I live for adventure of all kinds, and connecting with all kinds of people at a personal level.

PHILOSOPHY

I have been inspired by nearly every religion/spiritual tradition I've encountered. My personal philosophy has been greatly influenced by Peace Pilgrim, a woman who walked across the continent multiple times for peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am beginning to participate by testing out couchsurfing during my current backpacking trip throughout the Western U.S. and Canada.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any experiences through the CS website yet, but have enjoyed many chance encounters while hitchhiking/backpacking throughout N. America. Oftentimes someone would pick me up then offer a couch after getting to know me while traveling
