CURRENT MISSION

Building community and resisting the dominance of individualism. I am committed to dreaming of a better world and searching for inspiration in all of the places I go. I am also committed to challenging oppression and disrupting dominant power relations.

ABOUT ME

I am interested in hearing people's perspectives on the worlds around us and love sharing thoughts, ideas, and stories. I am very politically oriented and am also interested in the histories of different people/communities/countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because building community facilitates communication between differing perspectives and resists individualization.

Also every meaningful experience I've had in my life involves sharing (in some form) with other people.

Also I love hearing other people talk about the things they think about what's going on around them and in their lives

Interests

Sociology, film, music, radical shit, anti-oppression politics, drugs, queerness and more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stepped back and appreciated the magnitude of my parents' energy in raising me.

Also listening to The Wall on acid...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be a good listener, as well as share stories, experiences and ideas. If you come to the United States when I am there I can offer my house in return. I can help cook, and enjoy kids.
