ABOUT ME

"All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet." -HST

I am 24, Buddhist, dream junkie, coffee addict, [infant]artist, drinker, smoker, biker/hiker... I collect sticks and rocks, I spit like a guy, I curse like a sailor, and am okay with my extroverted introversion. I can be a walking paradox, it's annoying. I am addicted to coffee and I have slight social anxiety in large crowds, but love one-on-one conversation, so don't expect too much insanity/excitement. I either talk too little or too much, and love brash honesty.

For money I currently sell pizza and sometimes make jewelry using wire and natural elements such as stones/sticks/glass. I am working on making a zine, and will most likely ask you to contribute.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
Don't do anything you can't take the consequences for.
Respect everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

too nomadic to host, apologies!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While in NYC I met quite a few CSers, and I had the time of my life. The people I met were phenomenal, and the experience and community of this site is amazing. I made a connection with all of the people I met, and I wasn't expecting that. I have also met some of the most amazing people in my life through CS, and I can honestly say I look forward to every encounter I make through this lovely website. I can't wait to continue using couchsurfing and help it grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

age 17 I saved up all of my money and bought myself a ticket to Zürich, Switzerland. I stayed with friends and family for a month, and had the most amazing experiences of my life.

age 18 I saved up all of my money and bought a ticket to NYC. I spent a few weeks with some amazing people, got a beautiful tattoo, saw amazing music, and had the time of my life.

age 21 I moved to Asheville NC without friends/company

age 22 spent 4+ months alone in France, Spain, Morocco, and Ireland working on farms, at festivals, staying in hostels and sleeping outside.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many crystals/rocks and books on natural healing that I would be more than happy to go through, I'm interested in natural healing and still learning a lot at this point, but and would be more than happy to teach someone what I've learned up to this point.
