Why I’m on Couchsurfing

another way to make friends everywhere i go. i don't dig touristy, uber isolated traveling experiences so much as i want to be able to indulge in the local, home vibes that people have to share.

ask me about that one time i flew out to california on a day's notice to go hike 20miles with someone i just met a month prior off here, after spending a day with them when we were in austin... i could go for a little more of that in my life.

Interests

good grubs, all the time, all the kinds. being big spooned by my 130lbs english mastiff child. hanging out with plants in all their habitats. i find my way into local, underground music scenes a lot, particularly taken with hiphop gods and goodness, but all music/musicians/creators are vital and speak to me (sound is a force of life). being a whuman, what that 'means', what that looks like. intersecting tangible manifestations ('art?' lol) with spirituality, anatomy/physiology, sexuality. shooting visuals of all the crucial folks involved with the showme15 campaign, local artists friends in their elements. creating a space of vulnerability with my camera, for my muses (myself included). indulging in that funny balance of pure solitude and social overloads. honest conversations, but mostly the people who live in that state of being. nerding out to science documentaries, tedtalks, all that shit that keeps you on your toes. bedflixing, reading, sometimes writing, playing my records, all that good, chill stuff. living presently in my body and consciously in light of my spirit. loving on all the creatures. etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

just peep my netflix account.
