About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To seek out new life, new civilizations, and ways to be kinder to ourselves and the rest of the biosphere for fun and profit.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you." -Hafiz

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for couches from time to time to support my adventures and to explore sharing more things with more people. Hoping to host again in future, once my living situation is set up (recently moved to California). Always interested in learning what the world looks like from someone else's perspective.

Interests

Besides trying to keep up with my invoicing, I act, dance, uke, draw, cope with information addiction, and regularly leave town. I am also a biology nerd, sometime environmental writer, Quaker, and generally obsessed with global change.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share and talk about: Shiva Nata (or Dance of Shiva - a crazy mind-body exercise that gives you clarity-on-demand). Biology. Climate science & global change. Editing. Writing. Knitting. Beading. Philosophy of science. Acting. Ukulele. Nonviolent Communication. Quakerism. PR. How to find out what you need to know by asking the people who will tell you (aka Research, or Journalism). Tango, blues, ballroom and fusion dance. How to foster social movements and change the world. Whatever else you got.
