About Me

Well, we can all be anything, so I don't like to limit how I think of myself where it can be avoided, but...

Other's tend to find me kind, fun, thoughtful, compassionate, creative. They find my pretty good at dancing and teaching, with a love for listening to others and learning.

I suppose I'm trying to maximize making this world a better place than when I found it. Current strategy is to work towards community healing through restorative justice.

Here's an old video I made that might give you a sense of parts of me.

I tend to have good relationships with the people I meet. Maybe bad blood with a few people in the world, which isn't too bad for the thousands I've met! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been on since 2008 but I think I only used it once. I live in a van I converted so that makes it hard to host! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Done a ton of impromptu travelling though, and certainly no stranger to making friends with.... strangers. I'm also really into dancing and used to host dancers at dance events in San Diego, and I often stay with other dancers at different dance events.

Interests

Many, and many more to come! anti-racism, sustainability, ethical action from first cause to last effect, do-it-yourself, urban planning, counselling/facilitation, volleyball, nature, community, relationships, simplicity, richness, diversity, meditation, yoga, acceptance of the moment.
