Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Fighting fascism, just like everybody else
ABOUT ME
Tall, sarcastic and totally compassionate. I love love love the woods and all the creatures in them. Flexible about food and drug preferences. I have one pickup truck, two bikes and a growing number of beautiful people in my life.
PHILOSOPHY
Be a living, breathing part of whatever systems you're into. Love is a very good thing. Nutritional self-sufficiency, that is being able to grow and prepare your own food, is a very good thing too. Raptors (birds of prey) are cool. Trees are probably my favorite kind of thing on Earth.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
In absolutely any way I can...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
at least 20 couches on my resume, and all of them were hella chill. Besides being free, couchsurfing is a great way to check out the local scene.
Interests
I'm interested in seeing new places, particularly wild spaces that I've never seen before. I'm also interested in farming, planting anything especially baby trees, cleaning up the water supply, good music, the NFL, the NBA, anything DIY or political or both, and learning completely eccentric new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
If I sleep on your couch I can tell you...it's too long a story to describe in just a paragraph or two.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach/Learn/Share. Awesome idea. I'd love to learn mycology, more about plants, birds, skydiving and water skiing and become way more proficient in Espanol. As far as teaching goes, I can cook, clean, paint, build stuff, have perfect English skills, and I know a thing or two about outreach work. I have experience on farms but am always seeking more.
