CURRENT MISSION

WWOOF my way around the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm just this dude who woke up one day and realized the world is much bigger than my office cubicle. Now I'm out to experience it, yeah! Lately I've been working in horticulture with cut flower research. I'm also involved in community radio, and I plan to make that a bigger part of my life in the near future.

PHILOSOPHY

Clean up after yourself. Live minimally. Buy less, do more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only formally surfed once, and I had a lovely time. I've also hosted many friends and surfed on their couches as well.

Interests

Word play, drone recordings, field recordings, field outings, picnics, gig posters, sticking it to the man, responsible freedom, my mom's unintentional humor, constant hunger, fresh air, community radio, utilitarian knitting, themed-mixed music, frisbee disc saucers, real food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I need to do more amazing before I answer this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a huge fan of ambient/drone/modern classical music. Not sure if that makes for great conversation, but I'd be happy to bore you by playing some records.

And community radio? I have a few things to say about that.

I also have a little experience with organic farming but would like to learn more.

I can make yogurt!

And I can knit, throw disc, edit grammar, and eat a lot of food.

I'd be interested in hearing about anyone's travels and home towns. The idea of place is of particular interest to me.
