Started a intentional community project called the U.I.O. non-profit near Fireweed Universe City & a focalizer for the Great Lakes rainbow tribal council. We are currently hosting travelers, musicians, artists, writers, gardeners and volunteers at the Universe Building - UIO near Dr. Bob's Innate Healing Center & Goldengate Cafe' . . . I graduated from W.M.U. in Kalamazoo, Michigan born & raised near Yankee Springs just north of there . . . have travelled to the west coast and Hawaii multiple times and volunteered with the rainbow family after hurricanes on the Gulf Coast help in relief & missionary work near New Orleans (around the French Quarter) and along the Mississippi river . . .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Helping to facilitate and host the many people who come to our community at the U.I.O. and make sure they have a great experience learning about our d.i.y. (do it yourself) cultural movement here in Detroit, Michigan.
