I try not to be attached to small things and find peace in everyday life. Let the ego dissolve and it's much easier to live with one another. I like to meet new people and hear what guides them. Some of my interests include natural building, cooking, farming, I am a proponent of a simple lifestyle with hard work, natural materials and ingredients, and loving others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making anything: Cooking, fermenting, bookmaking, paints, tanning hides, building natural structures out of mud and straw, woodworking. Really anything I can put my hands to.

Contra and clog dancing: I'm convinced shared dancing can save the world.
