CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

The fact of human connection amazes me everyday.

I love having new experiences, and am constantly thinking about how to do this within in the context of my daily routines.

PHILOSOPHY

Walk into it. Breathe it in. Let it crash through the halls of your open arms like millions of years of millions of poets, pumping and pulsing, coursing like blood, shaking the dust.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently living in a village near Nyahururu. I'm doing economic research with dairy farmers. In my spare time, I dream about shearing sheep carding the fleece into wool, and knitting a nice hat :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This community means a lot to me, and I have made great friends through both hosting and surfing. You just never know who you will meet who will change your life.

Interests

Like everyone on this site, I'm into traveling. But I also am always talking to strangers and meeting people in my daily life. We all have so much to learn from one another.

Besides that I like: biking, cooking, running, lifting weights, doing DIY projects, writing, reading good writing, discovering new music, dancing all night long, having adventures, climbing mountains / rocks / walls in the gym, swimming naked...and about a million other things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Fiona Apple, Frank Ocean, Sufjan Stevens, Kendrick Lamar, Erykah Badu, Why?, Lake Street Dive, The Very Best, Regina Spektor, Beirut, Gogol Bordello, Prince, Michael Jackson, Andrew Bird, Grandmaster Flash, M.I.A, Janelle Monae, Neutral Milk Hotel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran, Major Lazer, Blinky Bill, Burna Boy, Lizzo, GriZ, Halsey, Rihanna. Lots more in every genre.

Currently reading about a book a week, all non-fiction. Can talk books for daysss, and always looking for recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked cross country on my own when I was 19 years old. Hitchhiked through 30 countries, mostly solo, at age 22. Ran a half marathon with the best of them in Eldoret, Kenya (I was dead last :/ )

Got chased by a fox in the Yukon while wild camping with just a tarp. Climbed Kilimanjaro. Played catch with dogs trained to sniff drugs and bombs in the mountains of Snowdonia, Wales. Built seven small-scale irrigation systems in rural Uganda. Crashed an artist retreat on Inis Oir, off the west coast of Ireland...

...And many, many more! What a time to be alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts
