About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To learn to surf!

ABOUT ME

A native to Colorado I am a musician, designer, painter, adventurer, writer, photographer. I love love to travel but haven't even had a vacation in 5 years. WHAT?!?! So FINALLY I got the opportunity and I'm coming to one of the nicest climates in the country to chilllllll, ride bikes along the beach and explore what SD has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind and brave.
Experience has more value than your bank account.
Balance is key.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I haven't couchsurfed through this site yet but I used to hitchhike and people are sometimes kind enough to host you for a night or two. I do dishes!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't hosted anyone through here but now that I own a home and once I'm done travelling I definitely intend to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitch-hiked and hopped trains through Mexico for 4 months. I played music everyday for pesos to survive, lived at an indigenous art co-op, participated in te mescals, planted tobacco, camped on the beach for a month with 100 ppl, saw a smoking volcano and climbed sacred mountains with ancient rock carvings!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open to learning all sorts of new things, I especially want to learn to surf. I know a little yoga I can teach. I could teach basic guitar and maybe show you how to paint on silk. If I'm up for it and time etc allows I could also possibly give you a reiki session or two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dude, I'll take out your trash, do dishes, clean, pet sit, babysit etc. I also have some light contruction experience if you need and can operate power tools. I'm a bit of a Jane of many trades so if you have a project I might be able to help.

Canada, Italy, Mexico
