About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience everything. To build a large scale permaculture sustainable settlement.

ABOUT ME

I like bouldering, traveling, motorcycles, building stuff, growing food, smoking herbs, making friends, and contemplating "The Big Questions." I converted a school bus, and now live in it, just like I always dreamed as a kid. I'm a good listener, and I love chocolate chip cookies and being where I'm not supposed to be.

PHILOSOPHY

Be Compassionate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few places throughout my travels, and now I live in a co-op where we are almost continuously hosting people. I love this community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with a couple couchsurfers before, and they've both been extremely rewarding experiences. I've had other "unofficial" couchsurfing experiences, all of which were also excellent experiences. The co-op I helped start and currently live in is almost always hosting at least 1-2 people. Everyone in my house is also a member.
