Greetings everyone! I'm a Music Professor at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan! I specialize in choral and vocal music, creative technology and improvisation. I play a bunch of instruments! I've lived all around the world (Toronto, Philadelphia, Vienna, Taipei, Los Angeles, Philippines, India) and speak quite a few languages. I also looove to dance liquid!

I am a very friendly and generous person, and I am very interested in spirituality. I especially love the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, and a Course in Miracles. I am also a yoga teacher, trained in India. I am interested in holistic living, and gifts of plant medicines!

I am a Gemini, Leo rising, and I am a ENFJ to the max! I also happen to be gay, so I hope that's not an issue for anyone :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in couchsurfing to meet new and interesting people... and of course, to save a few bucks! That being said, I am very generous, and the main point is to meet likeminded new friends!

I am constantly hosting people at my house in Regina, and am interested in allowing others' generosity into my life as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am truly a lover of all styles of music. As a doctor of music, I have studied and analyzed so much. There's so much to appreciate about any style of music, and I welcome hearing new stuff and sharing stuff I listen to!

Lately I've been listening to:
EDM: Kiasmos, Jon Hopkins
80's Retrowave: Tame Impala, Drab Majesty, Trevor Something
Folk: Andy Shauf, Joni Mitchell, so muuuch honestly
World Music: Buika, Fabiano do nascimento,
Love Jazz and Blues so much... and of course classical music, but honestly don't listen to a lot since it's my job haha.

I'm reading some books on creativity and writing poetry (by Mary Oliver) and read quite a bit. Am a uni prof so it's kinda required!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've learned how to forgive, truly, deeply. And I help and desire to help many others to empower themselves through letting go, releasing, forgiving, and moving into their greatest and highest yet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope this is not too prideful: I am a wise, learned person. I find many people are positively impacted by my insight. I am an intuitive and can quickly sense a person beyond their words. Of course, I teach music, I write poetry and I improvise songs and music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Most importantly I want to share life stories, I can share drinks and food. I really don't have a problem with money, so I'm glad to contribute a bit!
