Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used CS while in Guatemala then later lived in an anarchist collective house that hosted lots of travelers. At one point we had 14 people in our house, five of those being three different groups of travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed 3 people in Guatemala. All great experiences. I met up with a total of 6 people while there.

Hosted tons of people through a collective house account.

Haven't traveled or hosted(other than friends)in more than 5+ years.

Interests

Anarchism, Permaculture, Primitivism, Gender-roles, Escaping tradition, Freight trains, Pencil drawings, Graffiti, Reading, Riding bikes, Camping, Camp fires, Doing things together, motorcycles, mechanic trade, welding, homelessness, social justice, ACAB, social and cultural anthropology, linguistics, unlearning or identifying social constructs and common centricity. Being a hermit. Playing PC games (WoW, Dota, LoL, Diablo Tres...). Try to move away from antisocial technological games and go back to inclusive real life activities. Videogames are a childhood passion that was stunted by years of homelessness and traveling, but its now led me to a sedentary lifestyle that I have conflicting feelings towards. That and 9-5 wage slavery.
