CURRENT MISSION To experience more of life ABOUT ME I'm a composer, writer, musician, vocalist, and a self-proclaimed experimental music evangelist. Though that is only the very tip of the iceberg with me. I'm into much much more--I love learning languages and engaging in dialogues with other cultures and ideas. I'm all about learning and seeing things, as well as participating in the active pursuit and enjoyment of living life to the fullest. I want to see things, and make a difference. I live in South Texas, near the Mexican Border. It's a beautiful place, and very hospitable. PHILOSOPHY Life itself is a road. Many travel, but few make their destinations. I aim to reach my destination.
Interested in Classical
Interested in Environmentalism

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I stayed with some "friends of a friend" about three years ago while I was attending college for about two months. I had a great time, but the atmosphere was a little to convivial for me!
