I'm very passionate about sustainability and community. Being apart of coffee culture has given me the skills to get along with many different people. I LOVE music especially the local music scene here in Lincoln. I practice permaculture and I'm the chair of a local nonprofit called Friends of Wilderness Park. I host a eco-logical talk show on our local community radio station KZUM. I've been helping with stopping the Keystone XL here in Nebraska for many years and feel at home in Nature.
When traveling, I enjoy meeting like-minded people and experiencing new places, especially wilderness and natural phenomena.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, it's cheap and I like to save money when I can. I'd rather spend my dollars locally at a mom and pop than help a corporation amass a larger pile of money.
I also like the open-source, community aspect of couch surfing. It's a cultural model I'd like to be apart of.

Music, Movies, and Books

The book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn was the most influential I've ever read. I also like finding new music to sit and drink coffee or cook dinner to. I'm kind of a Star Wars and Batman geek.

Teach, Learn, Share

I practice non-violent communication and it has served me well on many levels.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to reciprocate my hosts generosity in a way that shows my true gratitude. Maybe going out for a meal or a beer.
