Hey, nice to meet you!

One way to describe myself would be as a nomadic hacktivist working on bridging communities through local first software. My spiritual home is liminalvillage.com where we're doing this but it's important for me to travel and meet people as a bard or scribe of sorts. I brew words together to create chains of causality towards the regeneration of people and planet in a form of artistic science. I'm a musician, juggler, technologist and all round strange cat - it would be great to meet you. My trails, affiliations and accounts can be further investigated at JoshAFairhead.com

Looking forward to our interaction :)

Warmest,
Josh

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Upwards mobility while living lean and meeting people. I work on social technology so CouchSurfing is a natural home for me.

Interests

Attention to quality and quality of attention. I appreciate pretty much all art and science multidimensionally to the degrees inherent in the work. It's all good, some things are better than others.
