Vocation, place, community, ecology. What does it mean to become native to a particular place? What does it mean to to be a social animal? Exploring the edges of the ecstatic more-than-human world, both “spiritual” and “natural.” And how do we live or philosophies within temporality and materiality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time moving outside of the Pacific Northwest, and I realize that I should make the most of this opportunity. So, I’m looking to explore New England and Eastern Canada “through the back door” and engage in the lived experiences of people from other places.
