About Me

At home in London getting ready for my next trip :D Stay home peoples!

I want to laugh as much as possible and find different ways to feel the magic that is always available to us. create, connect, eat good food with good people. Trying to give as much as I take.
I wish I could be outside in the sun all the time. I love to move whether it be on ice skates, a surfboard, or my feet on the grass, I love to create whether it be memories, music, a meal for my friends or a snow fort.
I'm a very giving and open person who loves spending time with close friends to smoke, laugh, talk about our crazy world and create music and memories.
There was a time when music ruled my life but Im no longer actively trying to make money off of it. I have some skills on guitar, drums and piano so if you can play something or sing or whistle or even smack a table to a beat then please lets jam!!

I'm here to experience all that I can and to share those experiences with others, to listen, learn, attempt to know myself, lessen the suffering of others, grow from it all and have fun while doing it :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The kind of people who despite this fucked-up world, can still constantly put their faith in others.. those are the kind of people I want to invite into my life. Everyone Ive met through this has been so warm and alive. It allows us to be a certain way with each other that feels so natural. Everyone so excited to give and share, hear stories and play their song. If you couch surf you will see more, learn more, eat better, meet cooler people and just have a much more rich experience than if you stayed in hotels or most hostels

Please dont message me if you plan on simply taking advantage of a free bed!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - every genre has something to offer. I can find something to appreciate about almost anything I hear.
I like indie and experimental stuff, soulful folky stuff, conscious hiphop, psychedelic vibes, some metal for the power of it and just mind-blowing skill of its players, and lots of chill electronic stuff
Some favorites would be Tame Impala, Anderson Paak, Kaytranada, Bob Marley, Portugal, the man.(old stuff), Charles Bradley, Fleet Foxes, Pink Floyd, Chronixx, Beach House, White Denim, Raury, RHCP, Bilderbuch, Seu Jorge, Bahamas, Flying Lotus, Cuco, Tommy Newport, Manu Chao, Fat Freddys Drop, Queen, Bowie

Movies and shows - the ones that make you laugh and the ones that make you think/feel something powerful

Books - the rebirth of nature, the divine matrix, walden, carlos castanedas books, journeys out of the body, artist biographies, wunderkind, brave new world, the 4 agreements
