CURRENT MISSION

so so so sorry to all the surfers out there right now -- due to COVID and to having an individual with lymphoma in my germ pod, we're not having overnight guests at the farm right now. if you're especially interested in farming and want to come out for a socially distant hangout while weeding, you're welcome to come for a visit.

to make the world a more equitable place tomorrow than it is today.
mostly i do this through agriculture -- i manage a small farm outside of portland, oregon that works with youth in the juvenile justice system, the latinx community in the area, and our diverse array of neighbors.

ABOUT ME

i love words, and images, and things that are alive.
my art and photography is at www.theoppositeofwar.com -- take a look if you like.

PHILOSOPHY

think critically, love extravagantly, live ethically.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have hosted in three countries and surfed in twenty eight -- i have met people and had experiences that i still recall often and fondly -- camping trips in norway, road trips in uruguay, pre-dawn cycling in austria, revolution in egypt. without couchsurfing, traveling alone could be a lonely thing.
