CURRENT MISSION

Make, play, stand on my hands

ABOUT ME

Life is an amazing adventure. I support myself as an artist blacksmith. I'm recently back from six months in Europe, learning and traveling.

I'm a bit of a juggler and acrobat. I've done more in the past, but the blacksmithing is really consuming a lot of my life right now.

Additionally, I'm into science fiction and fantasy. I play roleplaying games and go to conventions.

PHILOSOPHY

play, make things, be creative and intentional, also spontaneous and whimsical.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a long history of lending couches and sleeping on others' couches. It is something that makes life more exciting and interesting, and brings people closer together. I like having a house full of friends. No matter where I live, I will always be willing to take travelers -- I want that to be an important facet of my lifestyle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my pre-CS life I have traveled extensively in the United States, partially by use of couches. I have also hosted -- it's a family tradition.

Through CS I have met some wonderful people in London (most of them from out of the country), and I got to see Riga, Latvia, which previous to joining I never would have thought possible!

兴趣

I'm a blacksmith, a science fiction fan, a traveler. I like circus -- partner acrobatics, handstands, juggling.
