About Me

Just moved to Oakland from SF, stoked for the change. I just graduated from Herb School which was rad. Was a social worker since graduating 'mrrika college and have worked a lot of side jobs in the bike industry. Spending time outside is the best. Blame it on my wild heart but I also dig the night life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to host and be hosted. Journeys are so important for the human spirit and were the only species to charge eachother for it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fave writers to this day are still Hesse, Huxley, Vonnegut, Allende, Anais Nin I die for and Beat Poets.

I listen to hip hop, techno, minimal, rap electronic, classical, indie, and soul jams.

Luc Besson, Wes Anderson and Guy Ritchie's shit is always smashing. Cult classics like Trainspotting, Science of Sleep, Twin Peaks, Waking Life, Trainspotting, Motorcycle Diaries, I Heart Huckabees. I'm an old soul and I'm currently stuck in the 90s era. Total recall, Back to the Future, Karate Kid, Blade Runner (ok pre 90s too.) And I'm a diehard Seinfeld fan. Also The Wire was fucking brilliant, as was Trailer Park Boys series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The wisdom I've experienced that everything is one and a gain for me at someone else's expense is not a gain at all <3

Teach, Learn, Share

Chamomile, thought of as a sweet sleepy time herb, was used in the Civil War to treat gangrene. Our western herbs growing all around us are both sweet and powerful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bike knowledge, herbal wisdom passed down to me, love, and a good listening ear. And if there's time a home cooked meal!
