CURRENT MISSION

appreciating what's all around me, broadening my experiences, cultivating positivity.

ABOUT ME

Recently returned from 5 months of backpacking in Europe, with long stays in Belgium and Ireland.

Now that I'm back in the US, I'm seeking out opportunities where I can learn more about permaculture, biodynamic agriculture, and other methods of sustainable, high production/low consumption practices.

Before all this, I was in art school. I have a BFA in Painting. I love making things, always will, but I have no intention at this time of participating in the current art industry.

Rather, I plan to use my creative energy and love for making things with my hands to live a simple and meaningful life.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to embrace impermanence rather than fight it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the time being, couchsurfing is helping me find places and more authentic experiences as I travel.
Once I am in one place again, I plan to host couchsurfers as well. I really enjoy meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed frequently, but am new to the internet network.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Silence and stillness are pretty amazing the more I get to know them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching, learning, and sharing are very important to me, and essential to how I interact with other people.
Relatively speaking, I am a pretty skillful and intelligent person. I can't think of any one skill I particularly pride myself on... other than adaptability, (an ability to learn skills).
