I'm studying ceramics, and make design, art, and run experiments. I am never bored. Sometimes really animated, other times introverted. Nerd. Happy to talk about almost anything, but love thinking about consciousness, politics, and love learning from people who know about tech. I think there's no greater pleasure in, or point to life than sitting down with good people, and to a nice meal. I try to know what's going on in the world. I am the person who says hi to every dog in the street, and love basically every animal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

***0% reply rate due to not being on CS for 3+ years, and Google changing my inbox settings. :(

Hosted some people, surfed a lot. I've met some of my best friends on CS. Travel partners, roommates, tons of people I keep in touch with, and countless other faces I would be all too happy to see again. I also believe everyone would benefit from this experience.
