About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm Sean! I'm a good person to seek out in the event of a zombie outbreak. I love to cook for people, and the 3 things I can talk about endlessly are music, food, and video games. I'm a big fucking nerd.

PHILOSOPHY

Anything goes. Live and let live, you know? I just try to be the best person I can be to those around me and to make this life an enjoyable one for everyone. Except for the assholes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cooked a lovely meal for some folks who were nice enough to take us in when my band was traveling. I do things like that. And my couch is open to anyone who would travel my way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With my band I've always been on the surfing side of the equation. Recently I did some travel on my own and met many new people! Most excellent people here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My old band, Phoenix Saga, had a CD release for our second album 'Phoenix Saga 2: the Wrath of Sean' at the Alamo Drafthouse to a screening of 'Star Trek 2: the Wrath of Kahn,' which I planned and promoted. We played in TX, LA, CO, NM, and UT, slightly famous in Japan due to a friend of ours using our CDs as learning aids, opened for Fastball, Leaving July, and Quiet Company, among other amazing bands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic music theory and a handful of musical instruments to an intermediate level. I also understand and use advanced geometry and algebra on a daily basis. I can also show you a thing or two in the kitchen. I'm creative and handy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got a comprehensive knowledge of what to do, where to go, and who to hang out with in Austin, since I was born here. I may also have some MJ if I got paid recently. Naturally I can share my food as well.

Countries I’ve Visited

England, France, Mexico
