About Me

Hi, I am on a Canada journey. I'll be going on long wilderness hikes, hitch hiking about, and helping out on quaint organic farms. But I recon it would be sweet to stay with nice people in the cities where it's not so good to camp out. So couchsurfing is the go then. In the towns I wanna have a creative down the rabbit hole kinda time. I love cooking n gardening n dancing n performing n exploring odd ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spread the good vibes, and one day when I got space...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed some in the US Germany and France, had a wonderful time in Austin Berlin and Paris, so much kindness! Been couchsurfing outside of the cs network when travelling in Australia.

Interests

Honestly, if it's not tied into the great beige buy more stuff and make more money machine, and is instead based on people healing and learning, let's do it. I spend quality time out in the bush, for weeks on end. I do lots of veggie gardening and get excited about growing odd radishes and freshly baked buckwheat sourdough bread. I like dancing like a frond of kelp, sometimes. I like to go to spoken word open mike nights and ramble about how interesting and stimulating the end of the world is. I appreciate getting connected to my flaws n demons, especially to improve on my challenges around being a straight white male. I love moving about and doing physical things, to get into the body. Climbing trees is dope. Physical theatre and Butoh. Love cooking n feeding people with healthy hearty yum yums. Trying new things... singing, blacksmithing...?

Music, Movies, and Books

This is always changing, it confuses and shifts. I tend to go to folk festivals and smaller less commercial electronic music festivals. Weird, dark, dense books. Reading Albert Camus, Yukio Mishima atm. Don't watch much Movies n TV, not sure why.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing tall rainforest trees. Tahini and Bananas. Living on self caught seafood n wild greens. Full solar eclipse.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking, freediving, travelling on a shoestring and the bum's life, stories and little philosophies, digging up a garden, veggie gardening or lugging stuff about. Improv Spoken word...
