My name is Lief. It means Love. I hope to live up to it :)

I've switched careers quite a bit in my life. Now, in my mid 30s, I'd point to photography and videography as my main income earners.

In my past lives I've been, a permaculture farmer, bike mechanic, a laboratory scientist, and a community organizer in progressive politics. I'm also currently working on a book about polyamory.

I'm a pretty easy going person, I believe in love and connection as a prime foundation of human experience. I always find myself doing social jobs. I think traveling is a great way to connect people through these shared experiences.

I want more tattoos in my life.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I strongly believe in a global community.

I think this has become especially more relevant with social media and airbnb. I don't want to profit off my space. Santa Fe is such a beautiful spot, but so much of the experience is for sale. Vacation properties, tourist companies, etc, dominate the ethos of this town.

I would like to contribute to a culture shift of sharing in a more interconnected way. Cultural exchange, without money please and thank you.

Интересы

I'm working on a book about polyamory, and I'm making my first short film. Both very exciting projects. I DJ, rock climb, and roller blade. If you wanna do any of these (dance party, skate, or climb), let me know in your messages to me.

Музыка, кино и книги

Im super into moves, music, and books. Favorites isn't a word I use, just what I'm currently into. My friend recommended Hyperion and I'm reading that. The last movie I watched that I really liked was Possessor.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I've been in a lot of protests and activist campaigns, but organizing Bend's Women's March as Lead Peacekeeper is something I'm most proud of.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Music is a great way to collaborate with the spirits of other humans. I am focusing on sharing (both learning and teaching) various forms of music in my life right now.

I DJ, learning piano, getting better at trombone. It's enough to last a lifetime.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I'd be happy to throw a belay. If you have any instruments it would be fun to jam. I don't mind cooking for hospitality.
