About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Play music in Europe.

ABOUT ME

I am a musician from Seattle, WA. I am on a mission to play music in Europe with my band and meet awesome people. I believe I am secretly a ninja. I want to experience new cultures and see amazing things and go to Space. I love to cook and want to learn how to do it well. I read a lot and listen all kinds of music all of the time. I love to play pool and watch basketball and play the drums. If i could I would play the drums all of the time on top of a mountain. I love conversation and would love to have one with you. I love people who aren't afraid to be whoever they want to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When someone puts me up, I make sure to be as sensitive to the host as I possibly can. If I am able I will accommodate them by cooking them food, buying them beer or whatever else seems necessary. If they are the type of person that wants to stay up all night talking or partying I am willing. If they need me to be quiet because they need to work in the morning or anything like that, I can sleep. I can also sleep anywhere and I even prefer the floor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My one (official website version of) couch surfing experience was in Eugene, Oregon. I was on tour with my band at the time and we stayed in a wonderful home with around 3 other people whom I didn't know. Some people lived there full time, others were just passing through. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. We each had our own room and the person who owned the house was a bee keeper and cooked us all bacon and eggs in the morning. It set my standard for hosting people at my own home very high
I have been on tour with my band numerous times, often staying with friends and friends of friends and even people we have just met that day. Every experience I have had has been great because there has always been a mutual understanding and etiquette between the hosts and myself.
