About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm doing a lot of shifting around at the moment, ultimately trying to find a place to call home with a tight-knit community and lots of work to be done.

ABOUT ME

I'm 27. I am undergoing professional training in Landscape Architecture. I love music and the outdoors. I can get pretty overexcited about new things so I will be a total sucker for whatever thing it is that you do with your life.

I currently live in Austin , TX .

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmm

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was introduced to the couchsurfing community via my roommate, who hosted many people while I lived with him. Opened up a whole new world to me. I don't have that much experience right now, but I'm here to learn. So many paths in this life... too many to imagine. But some of the greatest joys have come to me while walking alongside others, if only for a short time.

I lived in a Co-Op in Austin, TX while doing an internship. Although my time was short, they still managed to teach me some shit about how to live in a community, whether it be in a single house or across the planet.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS

I tend to read a lot of theory and case study books about the field of landscape architecture / urban planning / design (okay half-read)

MUSIC
I love so many different kinds of music and love talking about what other people like as well
Some of my most frequented music includes
Talking Heads
Nicolas Jaar
Underground
Queens of the Stone Age
Kendrick Lamar
Feist
Protomartyr
James Blake
Dawn of Midi

I like to say I'll try anything once...if you have a passion for music just share it with me I'm black hole of curiosity on this subject.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friendships are my greatest and most cherished accomplishments.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learn pretty quick and am down to help out with any little projects you have going on...however stupid or dangerous. Also if you have a guitar I'll try and write a song for you before I go, I'm not particularly good but still like to try.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Amazement?

A second pair of any sensory organ such as eyes, ears, nostrils, hands, etc....they're yours.

Harmonies!
