CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Inquisitive, open, ethical, "down". -my friend Kira

Considerate and respectful of other people's space, open to a variety of living situations and people as a result of travel experience. Awesome grin.-my friend Abby.

I'm a goof who enjoys learning new things and seeing new places. My values consist of engaging reciprocally in mutual aid and with empathy and compassion using clear communication.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn until my synapses run out of myelin coating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a surfer until now, but I would love to provide a couch for someone when I live someplace!

I have couchsurfed with surfers informally or through the accounts of others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to dance to First Wave, New Wave, No Wave, Reaggaeton, Dancehall, Balkan Brass, Klezmer, Bollywood, Middle Eastern and global Hip hop. I like to get my work done to Ethiopian Jazz and wake up to Sun Ra and have nostalgic ballet moments to Vivaldi, Mussogsky and Pier Gynt. I like to go to noise and bluegrass shows. I like to watch weird movies and read lots and lots of books. Especially the Little Prince. And comedy/sci-fi hybrids.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Double rainbows at a Shamanic initiation in Mongolia, my little brother's first smile, seeing my first circus come together because I am blessed to have such earnest and talented and hilarious friends.
