CURRENT MISSION

You can't be funky if you haven't got a soul

ABOUT ME

I live in San Francisco. I work in commercial real estate. I make music. I love fashion. I read books. I take pictures. I travel the world. I keep to myself mostly. I like it that way. And then there are those rare occasions where, for whatever reason, I open my life to a stranger and more often that not am amazed at the results.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that energy is a perpetual force that never dies and connects everyone and everything. I believe that one can have serenity and peace whether they are happy or sad and that optimism can go a long way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Half my life is in rock n roll. The other half in business. I love London Underground and Popism, but I'm not pretentious. I love sharing obscurities with anyone interested in the discussion and I love to learn about the obscurities others have discovered. Life is too short to be mainstream and too long to be a dick.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a guy in Barcelona for a week from CS. He showed me all over the city and we had a great time. He was totally picture crazy and I think we took like a million photos together
My favorite couch crashers were a group of ten young men from Denmark. Half of them were in a punk band called Cola Freaks, the other half were their friends. They only stayed one night, but I might argue that it was the most amazing night of my life. I totally loved it. I hope one day I can go visit them.
