Living and loving this life, currently tucked into the Berkshire mountains of western Massachusetts. I teach ceramics and am resident artist at a local college called Simon's Rock. I live communally with 3 other folks, sharing meals, workloads and ideas. We love to work with our hands, cook delicious meals with home, or locally grown produce, and go rock climbing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to help save on travel expenses as well as meet genuine, local people wherever I may go, and to help other travelers in my neck of the woods do the same.

Interests

I want to learn all about this world and the incredible people in it. What we can see, and especially what we can't. I want to talk about things that are scary and uncomfortable. I want to challenge conditioned perspectives. I’m a woodfire potter and could talk all day about my love for what I do!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm in a phase of openness to many new types of music that weren't previously on my radar. Music from different places on the globe, and even previously untapped genres from my own country. I have a deep love for reggae/hip hop/surf rock inspired music having been raised in southern California on a skateboard and snowboard.

Did you see the Banshees of Inisherin? Dang...

Currently reading about Kabbalah and jewish mysticism. I'm very interested in religious/spiritual teachings from different traditions.
