ABOUT ME

In a future life I'll be one of '800 simple-lifers mowed down by machine guns at Golders Green.'

[AKA.] I'm a garden-grower, a music-lover, an art-lover, a lover of the trades; I enjoy vinyl over digital and usually have only enough money to live on rice, tomatoes, coffee and shop at Value Village. The rest of my lively-hood goes towards travel and chocolate.

Im also an architect by training and after completing my studies, I just started to do more travel! In that case, I received a fellowship studying "Architectures of Subtraction," focusing on how we bias production of space through representation and form. How, then do these relationships affect political and social relationships? What can we change or experience to affect our discipline and our physical world?

Then, after two years of working in Switzerland, Im returning home to focus on more local projects and my American License. Travel and Couchsurfing are still (and surely always will be) mighty dear to me.

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment, I'm trying to master calm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I began my experiences off-line, hosting a band or two doing traveling shows in my neighborhood, and striking up conversations with strangers. Since I've joined CS, I've gotten to know such great people, overnighted in tree communes in the north, surfed floors in Berlin, and been happy to help and show the newcomer to wonderful Milwaukee.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn about local music culture, landscape, politics and education.

Im an avid sketcher and artist and would be happy to make beautiful things with you! I can share that passion, as well as a passion for cooking and having conversation!

Teach me how to play an instrument, how to speak your native language or how to find the coolest hidden places in your city!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love of sketching, sitting, walking and talking. I also like to think of myself as a great cook, and would be happy to make and share meals with you. I hope to share stories with you and listen to yours! I am happy to teach a bit of the few languages I know, and I have friends and comrades the world over--perhaps this is the start of a wonderful network!

I can also hybridize iris, use CAD software, tie a tie, and make excellent apple PIES!
