Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Transition from home free to apartment rental.
Now that I am supplementing my meager artist's income with full-time work
for Pathways Vermont,
I am in the search for an apartment for the winter.

reference letter:
I know Ibnar first as a citizen who has been engaged in efforts to preserve the social fabric of his community. His empathy and willingness to make extraordinary efforts to connect with others — friends, strangers, even those with very different political or philosophical views — make him an extraordinary communicator. He easily understands both the ‘long view’ of complex issues and the very personal perspectives of individuals. He is naturally inclined to see and seek the good wile remaining grounded in practical terms. His professionalism sets an example that I’ve benefitted from.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

a reference letter from a fellow activist/artist/poet/philospher/essayist/and much more:
Ibnar is an artist and activist, who worked on the Vermont Sail Freight Project before devoting all of his time to community activism this last year. He has been working tirelessly to address city-wide concerns over public process, sustainable development, and environmental issues. He has attended more city meetings, more group and coalition meetings, and had more one-on-one conversations with stake holders and experts in the city on more issues than anyone else imaginable. He has familiarized himself with complex and obscure material by talking with zoning experts, architects, storm water managers, ecological designers, transportation planners, agricultural coordinators, and experts on public processes and planning. He has worked in individual groups for specific causes, but has also been a strong voice working to ally the disparate groups in the city to work on our shared concerns and causes.
