CURRENT MISSION

Meeting and working with the beautiful people of the world. And, as always, writing and making strange, wonderful things.

ABOUT ME

I love lots of people who annoy the hell out of me. I write a lot. I moved back to my hometown of St. Louis after 5 years on and off in Texas and was given a house by the universe. Now I've sold that house and am traveling indefinitely. I miss my garden and cooking for people.

I wrote a book of poetry a few years ago called "think of the day we saw the centipede castle".
I'm searching for a publisher for my first full length book now.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't fucking know. Love everyone. FTP

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travel pretty frequently and always meet cool people. I've stayed with complete strangers a handful of times and always had a good time. Since I've been on the site I've only met great people. CS really saved my ass and made me some great friends while I was in Puerto Rico.

Interests

I like to roam around outside and work in my garden. I like to read and listen to music. I like to dance. I think Museums are cool, especially when they're free. I've somehow ended up working at one. I like drinking with friends or any fun people, but I think bars are for old people. The Cardinals are the best sports team of all time. I like to travel (I guess that's obvious). I like cooking and food in general but food snobs annoy me. I like a bunch of other stuff too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being in love is still the best thing....

But standing on the interstate and facing a militarized police force in 2014 was amazing in a terrifying way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk a lot about music, poetry, literature, plants, philosophy, magic, and adventures. I've studied those things extensively. I can give cooking and food tips. I can read your cards. I'm interested in co-op economics and sustainable living. I'm interested in learning almost anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking skills, all day. Also, I often have little things I've made with me when I travel.
