CURRENT MISSION

Sharing inexplicable bits of wonder with the earthlings

ABOUT ME

Beatboxing junglist star-person tree-hugging hippy/hardened battle-rapper.

I love to share stories and poems about dreams, and time travel, and dinosaurs and economics.

I manage to wring a great deal of love and joy and excitement out of pretty much every moment of my life. Even the sucky moments are kinda funny, in a way.

PHILOSOPHY

life has soaring highs and stomach-turning lows, much like a roller coaster.

i love roller coasters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a stirrer of pots.

Usually, I am found in the thick of things. I like to build metaphorical bridges and draw connecting lines between unlikely dots.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived in a community powered-home that has hosted a whole cross-section of couch-surfers. It's been a really powerful experience to meet amazing people who whirl into my life spreading waves of change and then twirl off into the distance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a bookworm. When I get my teeth into a good book, the rest of the world kinda melts away as I consume, consume, consume. Asking me to pick favourite books is like asking a parent to pick a favourite child (which is to say, I definitely have 'em, I just couldn't say them out loud without having to explain, edit, revise, backtrack, amend, replace, second-guess... and i'd secretly hold some deep down even then.)
If you like talking about books we'll get along great I bet.

Music - I love hip hop, but I ESPECIALLY love drum and bass. I love dancing. I'm a big fan of metal (emphasis on thrash). I like anything with rhythm, and I'll boogie to damn near anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sometimes, I get to talk to highschool students about slam poetry, and encourage them to share and connect. Making kids fall in love with poetry is pretty damn amazing.

Oh, and I learned how to wiggle my second toe (the long one next to the big toe) independently. THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

Teach, Learn, Share

Travelers and mystics, wizards and witches, backpackers, code-writers, and hypnotists. Swing dancers, Story tellers, bi-and-tri-linguals, activists, subversives, scientists, carpenters and carvers, bakers, athletes, buskers, compulsively organized people, quick-witted cats, the down-to-earth and the out-of-this-world.

Lately i've especially enjoying makers of music, and practitioners of hip hop's Four Elements. Wanna cypher?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Joy at living, meaningful connection, moments that baffle us both.
