About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding what Home is, helping those in need, working with the earth every step of the way

ABOUT ME

I am a quiet introvert most of the time. I was teased in grade school, so if there's one thing I don't do it's judge others. I don't belong to any social cliques. I welcome people to share their story with me, and I will listen.

With that being said, I am a bit of a space cadet. I am "out there." I hear music and I see great things, sometimes wonderful and sometimes terrifying, and for this reason I play music, write stories, and draw.

My ultimate dream is to write, direct, and score an animated film and show it around the world with a rotating orchestra of local musicians, to always be a different experience each time.

PHILOSOPHY

Let go of the shore and the river will take you where you need to go.

Question often. Love often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches! Maybe one day I'll have a couch in my willow house to offer for surfing too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many friends have allowed me to pass out on their couches. To them I am eternally indebted - and with joy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2008, in Stillwater, Oklahoma, I started an artist coalition to bring together artists and art-lovers for fellowship and skillshare and creating collective exhibits. The group is still going strong even though I am far and away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to make journals, how to garden, how to cook (some things), how to feng shui, and how to be present.

I'd like to learn primitive skills, and am open to learning more about the subjects above, learning non-violent communication and facilitating, bartering, using alternative currency, intuitive yoga, calisthenics, or whatever.
