Outside the a fore mentioned occupations I am a lover of Dancing, Bodywork in general, Bikes - mountain, road and street, Burning Man, Conscious Research, Kayaking, Natural Activities in general, Baking Cakes, etc.

I majored in History and Economics but have worn many hats since graduating college 14 years ago: Teacher, Counselor, Cook, Builder, PCA, Stone Mason and others.

I am a lead for my Burning Man Camp called Hippocampus. Formed in 2001, I have been one of 3 camp leads for the last 5 years. A fabulous TED talk about our camp given by the original organizer is available here --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yibe9cugsnE

I am part of a large community here in Minneapolis created by DJ's, Medicine People, everyday Men and Women, Performing Artist, etc.

I have a cat named Mrs. Hannigan. She does not generally travel with me. I have had Lyme Disease for roughly 25 years and have done a lot to treat it in myself as well as help others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
