Hello! مرحبا!! Hola! こんにちは！안녕하세요!

I am from the USA. I've traveled in Tunisia, Iceland, South Korea, Japan, Spain, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Canada. I lived in South Korea for almost two years. I speak a medium amount of Spanish and Arabic, and just a little bit of Korean and Japanese.

I use Couchsurfing because one of the greatest parts of traveling for me is getting to exchange experiences of what it's like to really live somewhere. I have had a great time hosting people in the past, and of course it's awesome to be hosted. I always try to find ways to give back to my hosts in ways I think they'll appreciate the most.

I will be traveling with my partner in Japan from January 10th until February or March, so if I am currently messaging you, that's probably why!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The general helpfulness and noncapitalist workings of Couchsurfing are proof that human nature is actually pretty forgiving and not quite the Hobessian nightmare some people make it out to be.

I have a soft spot for eternal travelers, those whose spiritual home seems constantly moving, or maybe nowhere at all. I might be that kind of person myself!

Interests

I want to know what you're interested in! My main interests are:

1. science fiction and horror media (I made a kaiju costume for Halloween this year!)
2. music (I make house music!)
3. worker and tenant rights (I help people organize for better conditions at work and in their apartments!)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like electronic dance music, jazz, rap, and some other things. I like music that is experimental, but also things that are more like pop. I make house and techno music.

I mostly read only politics and sci-fi.

all kinds of movies. especially art and indie films. godzilla movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built sawdust latrines in the amazon in Peru with Caroline Johnson. find them on cs too, they're awesome and even more adventurous and skilled than me!
