About Me

Hello! If you are up for a time in a big ol west philly home please message me. I am always running around so i wont be aroud much but I have had such good experiences with couchsurfing while traveling that I want to open up our house as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i have used couchsurfing a lot during my travels and want to be able to host people now that i FINALLY have a place.

Interests

Art as a way of community engagement is a leading factor in my life! Art is a great tool for social change and spreading of messages that are sometimes unobtainable otherwise.

Something I live by....
Bread and Puppets The Why Cheap Art? Manifesto:

"PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEUMS and the RICH. ART IS NOT BUSINESS!
It does not belong to banks and fancy investors
ART IS FOOD. You can’t EAT it BUT it FEEDS you.
ART has to be CHEAP and available to EVERYBODY.
It needs to be EVERYWHERE because it is the INSIDE of the WORLD.
ART SOOTHES PAIN!
Art was up sleepers!
ART FIGHTS AGAINST WAR AND STUPIDITY!
ART SINGS HALLELUJA!
ART IS FOR KITCHENS!
ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!
Art is like green trees!
Art is like white clouds in blue sky!
ART IS CHEAP!
HURRAH!"

Music, Movies, and Books
