Personal Description

(sorry if my profile looks funny -
please use firefox instead of internet explorer)



Grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles
Attended University in a tiny city in Utah

Now I am traveling the united states and europe trying to find something, but I don't know what I'm looking for. So, I'm filling the time by meeting you .... and by stepping on your feet and forgetting your name and occupation :) and feeding you food from the trash (dumpster diving) and drinking coffee with you, hitchhiking with you, and of course -- playing music with you. Sometimes I sleep, too .... but not with you :P






CouchSurfing Experience


Surfed and Hosted, however I've surfed more than hosted. I'll eventually balance it out. I've organized and attended numerous CS events, sometimes by accident. I've traveled with CS friends across the USA and visited old CS friends in new and far away places.

Spreading the CS message and love to the world :) :)

and I like cheese

things that I say I am interested in but never actually "show" interest: meditation, buddhism, transcendence, spirituality, cooking, relaxing, practicing my trombone, learning spanish, improving my memory, making money

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done


I'm doing it now : somehow surviving in Barcelona :D

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project


Continuous Evolution of the Spirit of Humanity! Beautiful!

:::: However ::::
Couchsurfing is horrible for me. It has the ability for excitement and to make life crazy with new awesome people ... but when good friends move on with their life, my heart is ripped out and I enter a state of shock and melancholy.

Many many many people I think about and miss every day, but am still happy they are in my life, even if it's just facebook for now :D

Anthony is a wonderful musician and an intriguing human being. I never thought the trombone could be sexy until I met him. His approach to life is incredible and he somehow makes things work. Anthony showed me a fascinating side of Barcelona filled with music, laughter, sharing, and spontaneity. Buenos suerte, mi amigo!

Anthony was a great help to Sarrah and I in Barcelona, and I'm sure the whole dynamic of our travels have changed since he introduced us to Ryanair.com. This guys a good jazz musician with a heart for everyone who passes through his life. Stay well, hope your trip to America is smooth, and maybe I'll see you again in Barcelona before you leave.

Anthony and his friend Jessica are probably the best couch surfers I've ever hosted, so far... The days they stayed at home I was really busy in my job, so I couldn't look after them properly. I really don't know who was hosting who, because they did shopping for me, cooked for me, cleaned the apartment... They organised meetings with other Couch Surfers in my county... They played music together, they let me play their instruments... We shared music, meals and laughs!
I love Anthony's sense of humour and his humanity. He's extremely open-minded and he has many things to speak about, and he likes listening, even if it's in Spanish! He flows with life and nothing seems to be impossible for him. He lives the present moment and he's capable to make every occasion unforgettable... I promised him to visit them in Barcelona, and I'm looking forward to it! We still have lots of music and movies to share with each other! It was really cool to juggle, dance and play music while hitchhiking!

My flatmate in Barcelona for 6 weeks: To convince me to stay the entire 6 weeks with him and Jessica he promised me that it will be an "excellent good time" - now at the last day of our cohabitation I can sum up that besides spending an amazing time with my little crazy family, I met an awesome tromboneplayer, wonderful caring friend, who can stand me even if I don`t. I hope you will always be part of my life in any way until we will live all together one time in the future in a tent on the mongolian countryside.

Anthonyyyy! My little leprechaun who I carry in my back pocket and pull him out when I want him to play trombone. We`ve made our own crazy lifestyle of traveling musician bums in Barcelona, and it`s nice to have company on this journey. After our 6 weeks of living together, I feel like I'll never be able to leave him behind. We'll have to meet again, here, there, everywhere, or maybe when we're both famous musicians! I love you even if you`re United Station.

Anthony can really teach you means of living beyond. He discovers things with his trombone, explores the dumpster on your street and can make a delicious stew for lunch. He's one of those rare persons you hang around with and can just simply be.

UHH THE MOST LEGIT TROMBONE PLAYER EVER!?!?

Seriously though, Anthony took me in when I truly needed it. A mutual fondness for dumpster diving was all it took for me to know we would be pals. We ate garbage picked sandwiches, explored the city, and lived the low life to the best of our abilities. Definitely come to the Cle soon, if not I'm sure I'll be asking for a kitchen floor to sleep on again in the very near future.

Anthony is a funny, responsible, flexible surfer - total joy to host in our home! After traveling all day, he was patient enough to wait an hour outside for us to arrive home, and then went straight to work fixing a broken string on my old violin. He proceeded to teach our two young boys how to play trombone, and woke me up the next AM on my B-day with a birthday tune! If you get the chance, host him and be enchanted by all of his stories of being on the road.

It was a weird feeling when this guy left town. Eugene was not the same. We were all so active together. He's so sociable, he brings people together, even though he's the nomadic one. It's quite a gift.
I can't wait for him to come back and tell us his stories, and also for him to see all the changes we've made in our homes! He can be my party planner! Yay! Oh the dinner parties we will have...
That reminds me, he saved me from being a panicked host at my own housewarming party by making a hell of an orderve/cheese plate.. He's so good at helping!

Also, he's the best goddamn trombonist I know.

Yes I think he is funny, picky, geek and that is why I like him ;-P
He is like a big brother, responsible in important issues.
But most of time yeah easy going, relaxed and has send of humor.
He showed me about real sharing.
The time we spend together were valuable time for me.
I am glad that I visited Barcelona again.
I learned many things from that time.
He is a guy you should meet when you have a chance, defiantly.
Move forward Anthony and wish best luck for you always.

Meeting Anthony was a great experience!! He joined our band with his trombone and we had a fantastic sesion. After the music sesion we went out with my friends and had a great crazy party night!

The day after I went to work (that was hard for me) but when I came back home he had cleaned the house!

I look forward to jam again, have a great time and keep in touch!!

A pain, yes. But possible ^^. Like, totally, dude.

This guy is an awesome tromboner, being able to melt into a french brass band that has its own codes and social behaviours.
His way to play the trombone reflects this guy : easygoing, jazzy, that can be really quiet and then burst into laughs...
He's really the guy to rock you weekend out of its pattern.
Good luck for your hitchhiking experiences...

Anthony's a coincidental meeting, an instant connection, an awesome companion, a fine musician, an inquisitive conversationalist, a silent snorer, and a friendly soul.

I feel really easygoing around Anthony, and I like the way he moves and speaks; I would regularly laugh when he was trying to have a serious conversation, just because of his demeanor. Sorry about that =)

We're both nomads, so that means we'll see eachother soon enough. I can't wait!

I'd heard of and talked to Anthony through a few different channels, but finally met him face to face in Wyoming for tour de laramie, a drunken night of biking. Since then I've bumped into him unexpectedly in various places. He's a good guy seeking and creating action wherever he goes, it can be a thought out plan or something spur of the moment. If you've found Anthony it's likely you did so under the circumstances of good times.

Both of them have some of the best stories ever and now they can add their crazy Tentsurf wedding to the mix. I'm so bummed that I went hiking that day. Anthony, the nomad, is always very chill and remains polite and friendly even in the most frustrating of situations. The tent circle would certainly not have been the same without him and Niven.One day hopefully I will see both you traveling nomads again.

I am grateful for any opportunity to meet a passionate surfer, someone with ideas to share and a contagious optimism. Anthony has all of those qualities and more! He was the inspiration behind tentsurf, it wouldn't have manifested without him.
You have touched the lives of so many here, and to share that special day with you was a generous gift. I will treasure our time together at tentsurf and in Denver. All the best to you and Niven in your journeys from here forth!

Anthony was a great guest to have! I would call him introspective and friendly - ready for any adventure. He is trusting, fun, friendly, and especially great at caring for others and noticing their needs. He showed up at my place when I was not home and I described how to get into my place. When I showed up at home to find 13 people who had cooked dinner for everyone and had beers cold and ready, I experienced the miracle of surfing - I was being hosted in my own apartment! Thanks for being open, giving, and a wonderful person!

It's been a few months, but I definitely had to change/update this. Since April when I first hosted and met him, Anthony has become one of the best friends I've ever met through CS. He is a great mentor for those newbie-nomads like me who are still trying to figure out the Open Road and its implications. He helped make my first CS event what it was by teaching me how to effectively get the message out to CS locals. He has given me advice, wisdom, and an open ear when I have been having rough days on the road. He somehow has the ability to make the CS magic happen and grow community wherever he arrives, and taught me the necessity of hugging your hosts. I run into this crazy person everywhere... from Idaho, to bowling in Denver, to the library in Salt Lake, to Tentsurf... when will the madness end?!

Those of us at Tentsurf were lucky enough to see him tie the knot with an equally amazing CSer, and they are both welcome on my couch whenever they so desire.

I wish "Extremely Positive" was still an option because Anthony totally deserves it.

Anthony and I were in contact more than a month before I came. He was incredibly helpful in organizing my trip. He picked me up at the SLC airport and gave me a ride to Logan (thats a 1.5 hour drive!).

He introduced me to his housemates and friends around town. I got a chance to have some much needed American cuisine (biscuits and gravy, bbq ribs) as well as a local specialty (Burger & Big Dog).

We took a gamble and hitchhiked to Bear Lake together (about 40 miles away) to see the view and recruit a new CSer.

I was in town for a three day conference (Open Education 2008) which Anthony was interested in, and I was happy to share the details with him.

After the conference Anthony and I hitchiked to Salt Lake City and met up with a couple CSers there for an all night adventure.

We saw the sights, went to a concert, took abbey road photos, used flags, and drove bobcats.

see you in CA in Jan!

Very friendly, cultured and creative guy with a vast musical knowledge and lots and lots of fun to spend time with! he certainly will initiate some great CS get-togethers in Utah and I highly recommend to check'em out if you are around. hasta la proxima, Antosha!

i met anthony in klagenfurt after exchanging a few messages and trying to help him out with organizing a host in klagenfurt and a car to vienna. we met when i introduced him to a friend of mine who was driving and had a little chat before that. he's a nice guy and i'm sure we would have great fun if we met for more than 30 minutes :)

Oh Anthony!
Too bad that he didn’t have his trombone with him, I would have liked so much to listen to him!! (I’m not sure about my neighbours :o))
I’m very happy to have hosted him, he is really a genuine guy, very respectful and well educated.
By the way… the jacket was a great deal!
Thank YOU for your kindness.
Take care :o)

I guess now he can even understand the entire GODFATHER
saga in the original soundtrack, after he spent four
days heaering me talking in any kind of language! He's
a very kind and cute guy with a sense of humour which
at first baffles you and then it overwhelms you! With
him even the most normal things can become ridiculous!
At the same time though it's a real pleasure to talk
with him about serious stuff too in a night dressed
with indian food and music! Waiting for you to have
the next bottle of Rakia!!

Anthony is a sincere friend, and very talented Trombonist. His mind is never closed, and his door is always open. You are guaranteed to have a good time when you spend it with him. He is a great teacher, full of information about music, among many other things.

He's a great friend of mine- music snob! Gotta love him and his occasional mohawk. He offered me his couch once, but I choose to bike the 4 blocks home. :)
