CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to learn Spanish and Guarani, and to work with my community.

ABOUT ME

I like learning how to use everyday things in different ways. I see patterns in society and I enjoy seeing how communities large and small operate. Individuals are connected and contribute to things they are not even aware of; thats amazing.

PHILOSOPHY

"There was no solution, but that universal solution which lives give to all questions, even the most complex and insoluble. That answer is: one must live in the needs of the day--that is, forget oneself. To forget himself in sleep was impossible now, at least till night-time; he could not go back now to the music sung they the decanter-women; so he must forget himself in the dream of daily life." -anna karenina

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a few people.

Interests

I like learning about how people interact with the world around them (sociology). I like making things out of found objects and everyday items intended for a different purpose. I love editing audio narratives together (think Ira Glass and This American Life). I enjoy swing dancing, playing euchre, technical theatre, and playing banjo.
