I'm mainly a musician and teacher, as these are the two ways I make money. I love what I do. It challenges me to grow. That's my lifelong hope: to always be growing. And to be as objective as possible. And to stick to my gut.

I really enjoy: non-fiction, making music, riding my bike really fast, live music, beer and wine, friends, oatmeal, hiking, learning, sleeping, coffee, eye contact, jazz, and traveling of course.

I really don't enjoy: lying, stealing, bad breath, doing the same thing all the time, being hungry, gossiping, sleep loss, etc.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not in a place to host at the moment, but I will offer advice on Flagstaff and Arizona in general because I am very familiar with it. We can go hiking together :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did it a lot in Europe a few summers back and haven't been able to since.
I'll wash your dishes.
And keep tidy.
And bring you American talismans.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I gutted fish in Alaska for a summer. That sucked.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I have lived in Arizona for 15 years now, and it is highly underestimated, even by myself. I'm moving now to get more music gigs, but you should visit. The outdoorsie activities are in the upper half of the state, and the city life is in the lower half. Go to Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, and even Prescott. They are all some of the most beautiful places I have had the fortune of seeing.

I would like to learn more about anything I don't know about, but one day at a time.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

My dishwashing capabilities. I know a lot about music too.

Länder, die ich besucht habe
