CURRENT MISSION

To love and be loved in as many different ways as possible. To understand others and the systems that impact how they move through the world.

ABOUT ME

Friends and feelings guide my life. intimate connections sustain me, especially ones where we collaborate and challenge each other to be better humans and community members. I make music, some call it noise, depending on who is listening. Always interested in artistic collaborations of any kind.

I love to think about and act in ways that foster collective liberation. I also love to dance, laugh and eat good food.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn through exploration and to love wholeheartedly. To have difficult conversations with commitment and care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a couple of places in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, California and the Yukon. I have not had a place to host for some time now, but I am going on a 2-month cross continental trip from edmonton to Durham, NC (for Moogfest) and Detriot (for Allied Media Conference). I have a month in between and need to figure out where to stay and what to do!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Oakland. Meeting folks who were wonderfully weird and willing to let us into their kinky, obscure, fascinating worlds for the week.

Interests

I read a lot of theory, in particular theory (thanks grad school) but I love books like Emergent Strategies by Adrienne Marree Brown, and speculative fiction like octavias brood.
