CURRENT MISSION

to wrestle into oblivion the giant lizards that keep invading my kingdom

ABOUT ME

I am in my mid-twenties and can be most easily characterized by spontaneity and laughter. I like eating really good food, be it greasy and covered in cheese or a pile of baked organic goodness. I tire even myself out sometimes. I tend to run in circles, on good days.

PHILOSOPHY

i think people should be given a break. we're constantly bombarded by moral and political authorities from the left and right. we're expected to be so much and perform so hard in a rough, rough world. most of us want a few things: to love and be loved, to be healthy and safe, to be doing something we love and are proud of, to see something new in every day. I dont aspire much beyond those things, and I like doing things that help me and others get closer to that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Outside of this website, Ive been a couchsurfer and had people on my various couches for years. I have mostly lived in collective type situations where we have hosted many travelers and friends. As well, I spent a summer sleeping outside and at friend's places. I think its a wonderful way to travel and build community.
