About Me

ABOUT ME

I love life. But there's a lot that can get in the way of that sometimes... bad people, bad luck, bad weather. Fuck it all. Go ride a bike, laugh it off, and try to escape unjaded. Your mind is the greatest prision your body can have.

Ya know "very open minded" and quite radically thinking. I spend the vast majority of my time in the US in social circles focused around alternative living and social and ecological activism...squatting, off the grid living, living in the trees.

I have been traveling a lot in the US for the past 2 years. Mostly by way of freight train and hitch hiking, taking breaks here and there to take landscaping and wilderness related jobs.

I partied a lot when I was younger, and am kind of over it for the time being. Staying out at a bar all night isnt exactly what I'm trying to do, but it happens.

PHILOSOPHY

As above, so below.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm on the road. No couch to offer others. Perhaps I will be in a solid living situation in the beginning of 2014.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to live at the Lorax Manner in Eugene, OR. We had couch surfers come through, but I never hosted any personally.

Interests

I like cooking, veganmostly. Building, repairing, and riding bicycles has held an important part in my life. I like music, playing and going to shows. Punk, rap, metal, and electronic.

I like to do metal and ceramic sculpture. I like moving my body and learning to use it to the best of its ability. Muay Thai and jujutsu are fun. Having an intimate understanding of mind and body is a crucial element of being a human being. Yoga and meditation are important to me

I am also really interested in masonry, home electrical work, and plumbing. I thoroughly enjoy building and repairing things. Farming and self sufficiency are on the top of my list of things to gain a comfortable working knowledge of, though right this moment in my life there is not so much urgency to do so.

Though above all else, I love nature. All the verbs about it. Trying and seeing new things. Living feeling and breathing. Thriving and being happy
