CURRENT MISSION

Come, see, conquer

ABOUT ME

I'm a performer, someone who consumes art (books, movie, tv, music...) and makes it (music for adults and children, theatre). I'm an actor, a reader, a thinker, and a frisbee player. I work out every day (or tell myself I will, which really means 4-5 times a week).

PHILOSOPHY

It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious.

-Douglas Adams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed on various European couches, hoping to expand to my home country and eventually all other continents. Yes, including Antarctica.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a card-carrying member (legacy) of the International Society of People Who Sleep on Other People's Couches (ISPWSOP). I've surfed on and off the site my entire life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with Sally the dolphin in Grand Cayman. Was hit in the face by a stingray's tail that same day.

Western wall in Jerusalem... climbed Masada before dawn to watch the sunrise.

Ziplining in St. Kitts.

Insert the amazing thing that's happening sometime next month that I haven't heard about yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught guitar lessons to all ages, and I'd be glad to help you with that song you've been frustrated with!

I might be able to help you with your German... lived there for 6 months, and done work as a translator, although I'm slightly rusty now :)
