About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I have decided that there are a number of things I want to do in the world right now that I can no longer do from behind a desk. Some of these things (broadly) include learning about alternative ways of living more sustainably with nature and eachother. I am also in the process of learning Spanish and travelling is a good way to do this!

Interests

Mental health, community, yoga, social reform, social and environmental impact initiatives, education, collaborative and/or public art, learning to do new things with my hands, re-purposing, and hearing people's personal stories.

Right now I am specifically looking for opportunities to learn about: permaculture, gardening, herbal medicine, natural building, and baking. Please let me know if you have an opportunity for me to help you and learn in return.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have built large, collaborative art for Burning Man with incredibly imaginative and talented people. During these projects I learned metal working (welding), how to wire blinky things, a little carpentry, and also how to get crazy shit done! Working on these wild and massive projects has definitely been a highlight of my life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I love to cook
- I can share/teach some skills in counseling (like active listening)
- I am an excellent listener/sounding board and would love to discuss any ideas you are working through :)
