PHILOSOPHY

DIY by Default

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really don't plan on using this to find a place to stay because I don't travel to places where I don't know anyone, luckily I have met a lot of people from a lot of places over the years.

I'm mostly here to help others that have stayed in our home. We have a "guestcave" in our basement and host several people every year, but they are mostly friend and friends of friends, and all of them are related to zines and zine culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travel a lot, mostly through the US and almost always stay with someone I have already met, am penpals with, or I have read their zine. I've also spent time in several parts of Canada and different parts of the UK.

Interests

Zines, veganism, craft beer, 90s pop-punk, bikes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Few things amaze me. I get and idea and I go for it. Doing a month long road trip and zine tour with 5 people from the UK where we saw most of the major cities of the US and several of the natural wonders (The Redwoods, grand Canyon, Zion, and The Badlands) made me realize that they have probably seen more of this country than most people that live here.

Teach, Learn, Share

zines, vegan cooking, button making, and lots of random facts and knowledge.
