About Me

CURRENT MISSION

a train can take me away from here, but a train can't take me home

ABOUT ME

I'm a right-handed Leo born in the year of the Horse.

I love I live with with and the people I exist with. I'm a huge proponent of community, large or small, and solving our problems as that self realized community. I want to learn as much as possible to help my cohorts.

I'm an avid urban bicyclist and explorer. I like occupying abandoned buildings and jumping into dumpsters.

I like potlucks, especially with homegrown food, and paint parties. I like music and arts festivals, visual and aural and sensational performances. I like standing on your shoulders and vice-versa.

Let's go parkouring. Take pictures and videos.

I like to occupy time and space. I smile when it hurts - crazy how that works.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk. If you dig it, do it. All the decisions in your life have led up to this moment; if you're doing exactly what you want to, then all of those decisions were the best ones you could have ever made.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a collective in Syracuse and we routinely host Couch Surfers. Contact me if you need a place to crash or want to create something beautiful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed and hosted of course. Went around the country meeting new and amazing people and have made the world a little bit smaller by showing travelers what's up in Syracuse. For those of us who want a better and more communal world it's our duty to participate formally or informally with this project.

I've also had the great fortune of having three repeat meet ups from folks I've stayed with and peeps that have stayed with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat in a hot spring overlooking the Pacific Ocean; occupied Zucotti Park in NYC and ran rampant in the streets with 30 thousand people on the same wavelength, earthshipped in Taos, NM; watched Donna the Buffalo play a thirty minute version of three little birds - we're all from one tree
