I have hosted and surfed with many a fine people. Many of them I am honored to call dear friends. I am so grateful for this beautiful way of building community, and can't wait to see what amazing people I meet next.

Interests

I love making puppets (from tiny to huge, found, and time intensive builds) I am a physical performer and have studied in mask, mime and clown. I talso have trained in acrobatics for several years. I like climbing on things, and riding my bike. I love adventures, urban exploring, making new friends and hearing different people's perspectives.
