About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save money, laugh.

ABOUT ME

I'm starting to slow down after quite a bit of travel, mostly in Europe. I love the Sierra Nevada mountains and Nevada County. I always clarify this by telling my story of moving to Ireland and planning to never return. It was wonderful there, yet here I am. The local and organic food movement in this area is rich. The Yuba river is close by and a constant source of energy and healing.

I have been a computer geek my whole life and this is my job. I have met a lot of my community through my business and working with people has been a great joy.

I am learning to work with herbs for medicine and along with a new herb garden hope to one day offer assistance to people looking to heal with the help of plants.

I love a good party, I've been going to Burning Man for a few years now and that's been pretty amazing. I like to DJ and have a lot of vinyl and some turntables you can play around with if you stop by :)

PHILOSOPHY

God is everything. Perception is reality. Nothing is absolute. We are not going to kill ourselves off the planet, we are learning from our past mistakes and slowly correcting them. Our global society is right where it needs to be to get to where it should be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am awestruck every time a see a full or near moon rise. I am awestruck at the sight of the rushing Yuba river in the late winter. I can get emotional quite easily at the sight of large crowds of people engaging in protest, prayer, dance or just about anything that unites them really.
