look at things. learn stuff. run around. hop fences.

Film photographer, oil painter, prose writer, food deliverer, things learner. Jack of all trades, master of puns. I'm good at cooking and bad at censoring my language. I'm pretty nice and some people think I'm funny.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

surfed all over Indonesia, met so many lovely people and had such a grand time!

Interests

I'm a painter and a photographer, foremost. I make exceptionally good vegan food and a lot of dumb jokes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starving at the top of Mt. Lawu, a dormant volcano on the border of East and Central Java, we turn a corner and find a tin shack with fried banana, tempe, vegetables, rice, and water. Might have saved our lives.
