I am a performance poet, artistic collaborator, coffee and beer addict, and I work in affordable housing. My van is my home, but I try to meet new friends as often as possible. Some people call me a nihilist, but I think I am rather optimistic concerning the upcoming apocalypse. I cannot wait to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing to meet people. Currently, I am on a medium-length road trip to Sacramento, where I will be working for the next year. I live in my van, so I only need a place to park, but I like using this app to make friends along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Hawaii for 14 months, which was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been living in vehicles for almost a year, so I have a unique perspective on the day-to-day. I enjoy learning how people live, whether it is navigating public transit or backyard composting. I can always share a laugh.

I am a pretty good cook, an active poet, thoughtful conversationalist, and I have custom postcards and stickers.
