CURRENT MISSION

"Don't know where we're goin', but there's no point in being late"

ABOUT ME

I travel and play music where I travel. This helps to pay the rates. I teach guitar on the net on my own site www.rayred.com.
Playing music is heaps better than working.

PHILOSOPHY

you only go around once, make it count.
Always hold a door and always give up your seat for a lady.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Strangers are just mates you haven't met yet.
On occasion if I see someone on a pay phone in town (late) with a lonely planet, and luggage, I reckon they've arrived without a booking. I usually offer a space for one night, and help them find something the next morning.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In NY, I've had strangers (friends of friends in Europe) ring me up out of the blue. They ended up staying the weekend on Long Island and we had a blast.

I've hosted so many people i cant count them all. they were all good.

One of my couch surfers actually refused to let me pay for groceries while he was here. What can I say?
When I'm at your house, this would be the same.

Everyone is welcome here. I've hosted all sorts: Hippys, small people, even an accountant! Hey, the world keeps going around.

Interests

Its all about the music. I'm into tech toys, computers etc as well.
Fall in love with a musician, and you'll always be in 2nd place.
