About Me

CURRENT MISSION

less keys, less stuff, more real world experiences

ABOUT ME

I am no longer able to spend winters in the NW, so I am adventuring South to find a place to call home for a few months or longer. I have many skills including building small structures, food carts, art projects, tattoos, and now I am needing to take those skills elsewhere and see what happens! Excited to meet new people.
I am into the outdoors; I love rock climbing, biking, kayaking, etc. I am an artist at heart. I rode my bicycle across the United States, travelled to Costa Rica, Canada and all over the US and hope to do more of this kind of life adventure in the future, like now.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to be a part of the journey, what ever and where ever it takes me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to share my experiences with other people, and I want them to do the same. I believe that community can be built through trust and kind hearts, and listening. I welcome all people who have the same intentions as I do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with couchsurfers all across the United States, mainly through my bike trip. I have also made separate trips to Manhatten, Portland, and Seattle.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is the part that is hard to think of:
Movies: big lebowski, are there really other movies?
Books: 1984, way of the peaceful warrior, on the road, blah, blah
Music: I just love music, but indie, bluegrass, rock, jazz, the list goes on...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I see a shooting star, it amazes me that we are all here on this tiny planet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned how to take vehicles and engines apart and put them back together correctly. I have learned all about physics and how things work on a basic level. I love to explain these kinds of things. I have taken numerous art classes and I feel as though I have a great understanding of space and perspective. But I guess I don't go around talking about all of this seemingly unrelated information all the time. Maybe some of this stuff will come up in discussion, but I love teaching people what I know
