Not your typical Arkansan. Living very blue in a bloody red state, but trying to change it back to blue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cold hard cash. ;) It's hard out there for an activist and volunteer. Seriously, tho...I like meeting new people and I like to travel, so this is a win-win.

Interests

Gleaning signatures for medical cannabis campaign here in AR, going to rallies at the state Capitol (pro-choice, WM3 exoneration, LBGTQ rights), helping folks here and in other states recover from natural disasters as liaison officer for Arkanstrong, volunteering with The Van (fantastic org that helps our unsheltered neighbors), and pretty much anything that gives marginalized and disenfranchised folks a level playing field in society.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jam bands for music, dark comedies for movies, and nonfiction for books (especially political/social issues/improvement).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove an 18 wheeler across the United States in 2011

Teach, Learn, Share

A little bit of everything I hope!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I ever get the chance to travel again I'm a pretty good conversationalist and I like learning about different cultures and attitudes on social issues in different areas.

Countries I’ve Visited

India, Mexico
