CURRENT MISSION:
• Abstract version: Meet and be met by versions of myself (hint: that's you all) as I would appear under different circumstances
• Concrete version: Taking time to recalibrate how I show up in interpersonal interactions so as to better align with new insights on my neurodivergent constitution.

ABOUT ME:
• Abstract version: Thought I was a scientist, turns out I'm a connector.
• Concrete version: Shifting from isolated freelance work to an interpersonal day job, from default friend group to connections that matter, from a kind of polite duplicity (neuronormativity) to something more honest and sustaining.

ACTIVITIES:
• Circling, crafting field guides, masterminding/brainstorming, writing for insight, communing with my local invertebrates, integrating entheogenic lessons, engraving sheet music

SWITCH-ONS:
• Aliveness. Seeing the bigger picture. Finding poetry. Breathing space in conversations. Fierceness. The particular kinds of absurdity and nonsense that prompt uncontrollable laughter.

PHILOSOPHY:
• Taking nothing seriously but what matters.
• Never stop meeting yourself; or, never stop inviting yourself along.
• Stop doing, start being.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
I allow and initiate interactions that create the world I mean to create. When this is a world you believe in too, then we are realizing shared intention.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
Hosted a couple of surfers in 2010, loved it. Finally getting to do some surfing myself...
