About Me

CURRENT MISSION

create awesome radical community and rid the world of borders

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a little town in the best part of michigan (the upper peninsula). When I was 16 I moved to Rome for a year of high school and have been traveling obsessively ever since. I moved to Minneapolis for school, and I've been living here since. I LOVE it. I make art, I dance, I play instruments, and I am into radical community building and collective spaces. I'm a member of the Arise! bookstore collective in Minneapolis and I'm a radical mental health advocate through the icarus project (www.theicarusproject.net).

PHILOSOPHY

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
