I'm a professional dilettante - Street performer, composer, church organist, community organizer, monk, poet, clown, witch, bookbinder, radical faerie, house cleaner, storyteller. I'm seeking a potpourrie of experiences, skills, and ideas. If you wanna trade skills or knowledge, let me know :)

**
After graduating from UC Santa Cruz in 2011 with a degree in Music, I moved to Mexico City and lived there a year and a half. I fell in love with a ballet dancer who broke my heart. Immediately, I bought a plane ticket to New York City and landed a job at a church as an organist. I've organized art shows, concerts, lectures and panels on a rainbow of topics.

Now I'm on the road again, seeking the Divine unencumbered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This traveling time is monastically inspired - it is a time to take my writing and prayer more serious. I travel with very little money, using this trip to practice building a stronger faith in the Unseen Hand of God.

Currently, my journey is westward with a friend. Sometimes we travel together, sometimes our paths fork away.
