CURRENT MISSION

to never stop learning, playing, or exploring.

ABOUT ME

I get kicks from being eye level with the clouds, swimming in waterfalls and smelling loom. i am a community organizer, a radical and a gender activist. i am gathering practical life skills: butchery, building, farming, spirituality and fitness. i dont believe in an objective truth and am fascinated by the power of collective belief to create subjective truths.

I have received a question about why i did not specify a gender and why my references use multiple pronouns. i am transgender. i identify as genderqueer, so gender neural or masculine pronouns suit me just fine.

im a person and i want to meet other people. its just that simple.

PHILOSOPHY

i live to learn.

the hardest thing to do is to be alive honestly, to your full capacity.

the strengh of a community is in its local orginzations and the recognition of its residance that they are all connected and interdependant.

gender exists in a sphere of posibilites.

all types of bodies are beautiful.

If a group of people collectively believe in something it becomes a truth. As societies and cultures change their truths, there will be a change based on the shift in collective beliefs. Thus, believing in your ideals and sharing your ideas about the world is change in action. This is my silver lining.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in sharing what I have when I have it with the hope that I can balance out the hospitality and generosity of folks that have shared with me when I was in need.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a few couches and attended gathering. i enjoy couchsurfing gatherings because of the mix of people and stories.

Interests

My desire to learn is insatable. I am particulary intreged by sustainable food systems, energy healing, social dynamic, the motivations of people, non-binary gender, living off the grid and without full participation in capitalism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witnessed the fog trapped between the mountians in the morning while standing on a 1000 year old bridge spaning a 100 meter gorge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am as handy with a cast iron skillet, as a circular saw, and a sewing machine. I give a decent haircut. i´m a licensed pyrotecnic.

i want to practise my spanish, improve my meat cutting skills, learn about sustainable farming and living, see local spaces not advertised.
