CURRENTLY TRAVELING in the Southeast US. I'm eager to learn from new people and places. Enjoy having conversations, learning from others, reading, writing, listening to music, wandering in cemeteries, forests, camping & stumbling into the unexpected. I love hiking in the mountains. I DJ for community radio in my town of Portland, ME & love hearing new music. I consider myself a peaceful creature with an open mind & accepting nature. I’m comfortable in the dirt & eat from the garbage & garden whenever I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore new places with the intimate perspective that comes from living in place.
