My name is Chris. I am a musician and father and husband that comes from a travelling, punk, and activism background. I am alcohol and (hard) drugs-free and enjoy nature, the arts, food, conversation. My family and I live in Oakland, Ca and now that the kid is a bit older are trying to rediscover our travelling roots when we are not at home busy being a nurse, a student and a musician/reuse/recycling lackey. We are liberal yet open-minded and have had the good fortune to both host and couch surf throughout our lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love of Travel, Not of expensive hotels where you're just gonna sleep anyways

Music, Movies, and Books
