CURRENT MISSION To learn about the world, to educate young people about the value of the humanities ABOUT ME I have an Honours degree in Gender Studies and Political Science, have hitchhiked to the Arctic Circle, performed acrobatics around Australia, studied a bunch of languages, and, recently, built a small house with recycled timber and handtools with my partner. I used to live on a "simple living" community while a friend was making a documentary about it. I'm currently working as both a geography teacher and a plasterer. I like to travel, grow fruit trees, garden, build things, speak different languages and learn the traditional crafts such as basketry and blacksmithing. I don't drink alcohol, but am okay with being around it. PHILOSOPHY Anarcho-syndicalist-feminist-consensus-based-decision-making

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING In the past I have hosted a number of guests, but at present, I live in a small place with my partner, so this can be a challenge. In future I would like to move further out from the city and host more good folks COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Travelling around Norway and New Zealand I met plenty of good hosts, some on Couchsurfing, some I simply met through conversations on the street. I am always a respectful guest, doing everything I can to help out with cleaning, cooking and other chores, though I enjoy a good chat about the world too.
