About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing undergrad courses and research. Growing trees.

ABOUT ME

I currently study biology at Mississippi State University. I am interested in botany and ecology, and I spend a good bit of time in the garden and in the forest. I enjoy playing and writing music as well as learning how to do new things. If you have a stupid and/or useful skill, I would probably like to see it and try it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have previously lived at a collective home (CRIChouse) in Sebastopol, CA, and a cooperative home in Oakland, CA. We hosted couchsurfers, WWOOFers, interns, etc. to help with myriad projects at CRIChouse; in fact, that is how I came to live there. We had a pretty good number of folks passing through in Oakland, too. I've spent some time bumming about the west coast, and I've seen a few couches, floors, and porches in the process.

Interests

Permaculture. Plant-plant interactions. Fermented foods. Community. Cliches. Buzzwords.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll fill this in later.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to chat in Spanish or English. I know a thing or two about a few things, and I would love to share and/or learn more things or more things about the things I know a thing or two about. Such areas include gardening, homesteading, natural building, fitness, and random silly sports.
I also like making music with people.
