Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started my profile here

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't connected to any couch surfers through this website yet, but I've had plenty of experience couch surfing and traveling around the united states and south america!

Interests

My heart and soul is music. I play guitar and whatever other instruments have come my way... ukelale, mandolin, bass, djembe, and I'm just now starting sitar and tablas. Let's jam...

The simple things in life are KEY....home cooked meals and potlucks, barbeques, hikes, waterfall adventures, bonfires, reading, writing, jam sessions, going to shows, etc. I also love playing chess and try to ski whenever money and time permits.

All in all, some of my favorite times are easy --- good beer, friendly company, and great conversation. Friends and family are really important to me, and I love meeting new brothers and sisters across the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a music freak and would love to trade tunes with you. Discovering new music from around the world has been amazing. Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Céu, Beuna Vista Social Club, Dobacaracol, Groundation, Desert Dwellers, Iron & Wine, and Lotus.

Movies/books - Lord of the Rings!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in the highest (navigatable) lake in the world - titicaca in peru.

Cut my dreadlocks of 3 years off, over the largest waterfalls in the world - foz do iguaçu, argentina

Traveled to San Francisco for new years... saw Furthur for NYE, hiked the red woods, met important and influential people in my life, got poison oak from head to toe.

Teach, Learn, Share

We're all students and we're all teachers. We're all in this together, so let's help each other out and have fun in the process! I've learned way more traveling and talking to people from around the world, than I have in any book or classroom. We all have something to share with each other!
