CURRENT MISSION

Improve performance of building

ABOUT ME

Practicing simple living. Have few attachments or possessions, and feel more connected to it all. Love to help people build their dreams. I like to experiment with body movement, including improv dance, martial arts, and gymnastics in the parks.

PHILOSOPHY

Change is inherent, accept and embrace, flow with and through, experience and cherish the vitality of this passing life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I build stuff, whether it be wigwams in the wilderness, homes for friends, bike trailers, or driftwood furniture. I facilitate workshops for alternative building and community projects.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very little... usually camp out. Have had a good set of experiences in San Antonio, TX while there for conference on Earth Building, and have hosted several wonderful people passing through.
