About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fight Capitalism

ABOUT ME

I'm a long time artist and activist who is still trying to change the world for the better using any and all means available. I am working my way through school, taking full advantage of all opportunities that come my way (I'm hoping to study abroad for a second time next year!). I love reading, particularly magic realism and anarchist lit; I speak several languages and love learning language; I am a vegan and a great cook; very into the arts scene, love to go to music shows, exhibitions, museums, festivals, anything that celebrates the multiform beauty of life; I am big into politics, but you'll find this out if you ever talk to me.

PHILOSOPHY

"You can't be neutral on a moving train" We are all connected and really depend on each other to avoid exploitation and maximize our own potential within a community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Make people feel at home in the cities I know best while learning the most I can from people abroad in their own cities.

None through the website, but I have been unofficially couch surfing all my life!

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently doing work on Don Quixote, reading the letters of Subcommandante Marcos, and catching up on my Bertold Brecht (in German). Music wise, I am recently all about Die Antwoord, although normally Dead Prez, other conscious hip hop, dubstep, post-rock, African music (all types), etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have tried over 300 different types of beer, run with the bulls twice, and visited three continents.
