About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to keep a smile on my face and yours. And constantly learn new things.

ABOUT ME

I like making things and will make something for you. I am in love with new people and skills. And kick you in the gut honest. Appreciative of any kindness. And wish we could all bring back the barter system.

PHILOSOPHY

I do whatever I can to feel satisfied with my actions and their effects on others. I want to make you smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer up my couch to fellow vagrants. Share what I can with guests and hosts. Talk up how awesome couch surfing is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm very thorough in my searches for a host, so I've had really excellent experiences while traveling. I hosted tons of bands when I lived at a housing cooperative (doubled as a diy venue) and my roommates and I alike have welcomed couchsurfers through this website over the years.

Interests

Most lit in some way, new people, diy like whoa, secret niceties, new music, house shows, languages, change, hula hooping, circus culture, tattoo culture, craft beer and learning how to play bass and mix.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fed 18 people for a week from only food found in a supermarket dumpster-- Waste Not Want Not!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some specialties in the kitchen and am good at accommodating all dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, nut allergy, etc...). Knit, sew, make things. Know some arabic, french, and spanish. Play a few instruments. Hula-hoop, aerial acrobatics, and contortion. Happy to share all talents, knowledge, and possessions! I want to learn everything! But I'm particularly interested in music, history, beer, circus, and languages :) :)
