About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To hate pants and have fun while doing it!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I am a geek for underground dance music. I love science and art. I also love to ride bikes, explore the world, and talk intellectually about silly subjects.

PHILOSOPHY

"Seek to understand, then to be understood." I think it's important to be humble to the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couch surfed in Europe. The first trip I was by myself. The second and third times I was with a friend. I have had a few guests at my old house. They were mostly from the US who came to Olympia to check out The Evergreen State College. My current home is unable to accept guests at this time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

They were all awesome experiences. I am appreciative that all the hosts I've had were interested in making meals with us, and usually offering to show us around town.

Interests

Human nature and behavior, detournement, electronic and experimental music, cooking, applying kinetic force to objects to see what kind of sound they make, discount veggie bins, thrift shopping, environmental health, tea, graphic art, fashion, exercise, architecture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Breakcore Gives Me Wood 14 in Gent, Belgium on June 16th, 2006. A massive extravaganza of electronic music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm full of useful little facts that usually involve cooking, science, music, camping, problem solving, the universe. I am a good counselor. I put great value in sharing stories and experiencing other cultures or ways of living.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a neat and tidy person, I enjoy doing the dishes/washing up, and share stories
