I am a poet/artist/explorer of nature currently helping to build a tiny house community here in Oregon, which I will be moving into. Also exploring Krishna Consciousness and the world in all its terrible beauty. I love drawing and doodling, singing off-tune, and sharing my spiritual examinations on a world gone awry.

I love to help with the cooking, and am very good with organization of small spaces - if you need help getting organized, I'm glad to help and share.

I am also learning what it means to be a warrior and a healer through the Chakras and Light giving, Reiki, and other healing modalities. I love meeting people who share similar gifts and interests.

I'm open to many different experiences - let's go skiing, skateboarding, out for a movie, swimming, or stay indoors for video games, writing, partying and socializing, or just talking about adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently learning about Spirit-realism; artwork based in the transcendental realms, and am exploring Oregon to further my artwork and poetry - destinations to explore are Ashland, Bend, Klamath Falls, Portland, Corvallis, and elsewhere...

I intend on traveling to India sometime in my life and visiting several of the temples there to immerse myself in the richness of the Vedic cultures.

I also intend to visit South American indigenous tribes and learn about ethnobotany and entheogenic medicines!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach someone how to read or draw.
I want to learn everything, especially about cooking.
I want to share a hug.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I'm really easy to get along with, and love to help any way I can, especially with cooking and household organizing. I also love to give away my psychedelic doodle artwork, so if you host me, I will give you an awesome piece of art to hang on your groovy wall.
