Hello hello CS community-

Not particularly good at conveying personality with text. I study rocks and environmental health and like to think about how the world interacts in water/soil/dust/air. Mostly how humans are messing with systems.

I work as a designer making art-thinking about rocks and air. I enjoy being alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing life makes living more fun. I've got space in my house and life for good/nice/unfriendly people so it seems only reasonable that I would want to host others looking for a safe and friendly place to stay.

I think being with people is what makes going to new places mean something. I've been quite blessed with human kindness when being in new place throughout my life, so it really seems only fair to share some of it in return.

ALSO I love to experience how different people see the world, and confront reality, and address the challenges and beauty of it. I like seeing and realizing how much humans have in common with each other.

Interests

Making things and talking with people make me happy mostly.

I work with water/air contamination and human health in a changing world.

• woodworking
• geology
