CURRENT MISSION

To subvert all local chapters of the Wombat Local 387 ground-burrowers union, to defeat Christopher Walken once and for all, to be *the one* Highlander.

ABOUT ME

Oh, I am a human, to be sure (joking -- clearly I'm not).

Very involved in the local burner scene, particularly in the Ann Arbor area though have my hands in all things Burning Man in the region. I spend as much time as I can acquiring new techno/electro music and DJ casually and at parties.

Just finished building out the loft space that I live in, so enjoying that after many months of work and using it as much as possible by filling it with beautiful souls and good music.

Fell into spiritualism quite substantially last year and it's altered my life in some fairly considerable way. Doing as much intuitive energy healing work as I can as well as meditation, and really just learning whatever I can about anything related to those particular practices.

Excited to start hosting in Detroit as it's the first time I've been stationary and had a place fit to do so in the past year and a half, so I'm pretty pumped about it. Haven't been as active in the local CS scene as I have the local Burner scene but hoping to change that as I host more, and work with some of the CSers to merge those two really conscious and wonderful communities in a more intentional way :)

PHILOSOPHY

Pay attention. Indeed this may be the only rule that holds fast in all facets of existence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nearly everyone that I've encountered in the CouchSurfing community has become a dear friend, some haven't but they've all been wonderful experiences. I consider it the best way to travel without moving and cherish the people and blessings that it brings into my life.

Interests

Words. Meditation. Yoga. The Universe. Spirituality. Movies. Music. Travelling. Love.
