ABOUT ME

I'm an artist, tour guide, amateur musician and ranter. I like volunteering for radical organizations and helping to get shit done. I live in Brooklyn NYC, usually in a collective house of some sort, and I've traveled to a good many US states. I also like to help out in whatever way I can at the houses I stay at, play music and make art with others, go on adventures, contribute to whatever awesome project you are working on, and dumpster dive/recycle/skip whatever you call it to bring you some goodies and then cook you a delicious vegetarian/vegan meal.

PHILOSOPHY

My knuckles say DISCLOSE, ask me about it and we will talk philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have traveled to many places and stayed on many couches/spare beds/floors, whether through this website or just finding people through word of mouth, and have met many wonderful people. I used to live in a big communal house in brooklyn that hosted couch surfers from all over the world on a housemates account, and whenever I'm living with the right accommodations I love to have guests. I've never had a bad experience with someone who I met through this website.

Interests

Art, activism, music, history, eastern western modern ancient philosophy, drunk conversations that go til 3am, exploring new cities for hours looking for old beautiful architecture, dark alleyways with rad graffiti and little hidden religious shrines, bicycling out to the beach or countryside, hiking the mountains, swimming naked, visiting social centers and squats, going to museums and laying in the sun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch hardly any TV, haven't seen most new movies though I have a lot of old favorites, and I'm reading as much as I can. I like almost all music, but particularly love traditional and folk music from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The deserts of the southwest US is one of the most beautiful sights to lay eyes on, and seeing the fog rolling over the Tuscan valley from the top of Cortona is something I can never forget. I have some great stories, especially about hitch hiking, but those are best told in person over a bottle of cheap wine.
