CURRENT MISSION

Become a prolific letter writer.

ABOUT ME

I lead a happy life in Olympia, WA studying agriculture and community development, growing lots of vegetables and cooking and eating them, drinking beer and talking with friends on the porch, reading books, making silly faces in the mirror.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to find ways in my own life to counter injustice and understand it, and to find a way connecting to the natural world. More often I find myself being a silly goose, though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used couchsurfing when visiting Mexico City a couple of years ago. I can't imagine my experience without it. I think I would have missed all the best parts of that great city were it not for my hosts!
