About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, community service, media work

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back and easy going, but a very serious person who finds reasons to laugh a lot. I love to travel, but hate traveling by myself. I eat separately from non-vegetarians and non-vegans, because I am vegan (I still eat honey though). Boone NC has a newly founded NAACP chapter, and I am volunteering on two committees in that chapter: the Community committee and the Environmental Justice committee. I also currently do indy media livestreaming work for grassroots movements.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm egalitarian. Very shy and awkward until I warm up to someone. Yet I'm half extrovert and half introvert, a good 50/50 mix.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here . . . I'm working on the who "participate" part right now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed without this website, I just slept at a relative's place, a friend's place, an activist collective house, and another friend's place so far while staying here in the Atlanta area. However, I still need a place to sleep as most everyone I know here in Atlanta already has a full house, or are busy traveling during this summer.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie genres are: Sci-Fi and Action Drama. I like almost any type of Music. I like books that teach you something, more than entertain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coral reefs in the FL Keys while snorkeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an artist first, and a scientist second, and an activist third. I specialize in Graphic Design (basically the art of branding, the art of ads, and front-end promotions like website design), Informations Systems (Software and Networking), Internet Technologies (servers, database programing, database entry, website development, website design), Internet Security (FOSS Encryption). I use to be a community organizer before I transferred into Appalachian State University, and now I'm just an activist that does random media work when donations are provided for my livestreaming. Anyone who can teach me more about food, cooking, baking, foraging for food, growing organic food, and permaculture would be greatly appreciated. Also, anyone who can teach me about alternative energies and how to install and/or make them would be just as awesome.
