CURRENT MISSION

music, community, adventure

ABOUT ME

I'm urban homesteader & audio engineer living in Atlanta, GA. I'm queer, vegetarian, nerdy, friendly, & I tend to apply cultural studies theory to situations whether they need it or not. I have deep & abiding interests in folk music, bicycling, co-ops, tea, politics, and good conversation.

I love having adventures, broadly defined, and good storytelling. I find couchsurfing to be an awesome path to both of these.

I graduated from college a few years ago with degrees in English and Cultural Studies, a lot of experience and enthusiasm for cooperative housing and cooking, and many many hours of conversation about politics, gender & sexuality, how to change the world, and tea under my belt.

PHILOSOPHY

collective change, community building, follow your bliss.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot as a sound technician for a nationally (and sometimes internationally) touring folk band. Sometime this involve couchsurfing, but most often it's a great chance to meet people from all over the US & elsewhere. I also like spending my free time on travels of my own and hosting visitors when I'm home. I live in an off-the-grid cooperative house in Atlanta and love introducing folks to cooperative and environmentally-friendly living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in the US, UK and Sweden, and hosted visitors from Germany, Sweden, and all over north america.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

all sorts! I work in the world of folk music and love that but also indie rock, motown, singer-songwriter, and more.

A handful of my favorite books include The Passion by Jeanette Winterson, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, Middlesex by Jefferey Eugenides, and everything Toni Morrison writes.

I like oddball movies - Harold and Maude and The Triplets of Belleville for a few.

oh man. Hiking the Grand Canyon, swimming in (NOT across) the English Channel, and camping in the foothills of the Andes.
