About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hopelessly lost but making good time.

ABOUT ME

2 obsessions: yoga and raw food. hobbies: everything else. I would like to stay only non-smoking places, please, and I don't drink or eat meat, so wouldn't be bringing that into your home if that's a concern. nor will i be bringing dogma or judgement. just smiles and good guestness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing last summer in Eastern Europe and it was a revelation: so much better than a generic, sterile hotel. After surfing in the US I've decided it's absolutely the best way to travel, create community, see the real place. I've been travelling ever since that summer - India, the US and Canada and am currently on a motorbike trip from a yoga conference in the Midwest to California, to empty my apartment and soon take my stuff and myself to Portland or Canada to start a couple of non-profits, grow a garden, and do all the things that are only possible with roots.

Interests

vintage motorcycles, microscopy, fermentation, growing food, art, traditional music, and pretty much everything else. some are polymaths, I am a poly-distracted
