I like adventure sports (ultimate frisbee, surf, ski, mtb) and fixing bikes. I've learned a lot from the ocean and from bicycles. For work I edit video, photo, and do graphic design. Digital nomad style. I also like to ferment things, make things, and cook family dinners.

I have some life motos:

Freedom is within you
Affection was never wasted
Jump in the cold water
Death to the lukewarm
Music is the answer
Surf is where you find it

I am glutarded.

I've lived in Columbia Gorge OR/WA; San Carlos, MX; Melbourne, AUS; Tucson/Flagstaff, AZ; Florianopolis, BR; and now Seattle, WA.

Philosophy:

The journey is the reward€ -Chinese proverb.

Feliz acosa.

The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is a wonderful place that happens to be very close to here. So close, that indeed we get a lot of people asking to stay with us on their way to the canyon.

The thing is, we think Flagstaff is much more than a canyon. It is important that people see the canyon, but realistically, we want you to be here to be here. The end result is that we generally accept people that are trying to stay for longer than 2 days, to ensure that they experience some of the awesome-fun time that can be had in Flagstaff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Community is life. Couchsurfing supports good things. It is a platform built upon open-mindedness.

I don't mind doing dishes alone. Although doing dishes together is one of my favorite things.
I like when I have to tip toe around the sleeping visitor.
CS came naturally.

Interests

I have skied since I was a little kid. I am still learning to surf. I am a bad but passionate mountain biker of 2 years. These are inherently lone-wolf sports, and so I play Ultimate Frisbee for the community. These things are the first priority in my life as they are the access point to my inner cathedral.

After that I like to make art and try and work in environmentally/socially positive channels with my skill set.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Lamb twice.

Teach, Learn, Share

"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance."

The word learn used to be used for both teach and learn.

We have two ears and one mouth, for listening twice as much as we speak.

Unlearn everything.
