Hey you can call me Jimi. I am currently working on a farm in Connecticut. It is nice to be in the open air all day. Ask me about plants, psy music, or c sound on the computer.

Currently living it up with my girlfriend in White Plains.

House rules: You're accountable for whatever you do. Enforced safe space. Cooking highly encouraged.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a nomadic inclination. It challenges me to avoid getting wrapped up in my own head, to be bold and put myself out there, to stay in touch with the changes this planet is going through. Living in a private, controlled, mediated, neat universe just isn't for me.
