When I'm not ramblin' around or travelin' about, I'm usually in the woods. I'm all about living off the grid and doin' the whole homesteading lifestyle. I also, thus far in my life, believe in living in community, and have lived in a few myself. When I'm not in the mountains chopping wood, milking goats, or making kraut, I'm usually traveling. I love the act of movement, and when it comes to civilization, I love to experience the vast variety of human condition.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spose I'm here to meet the people, have a genuine experience. To give where I can, and gratefully accept what is given.

Interests

I'm really in to living life, so I suppose that's a jack-of-all-trade type of thing. For several years I have lived almost completely off the grid, save for bulk supply town runs. Much of that time was spent living in an open doors community in the mountains of Northern California. There lies many stories and learned lessons.
So you can pretty much count on most anything nature oriented interests me.
Ah, but also I love music! I'm learning the banjo and and play a bit of the guitar. But I am a lover of sound, in all variety of frequencies and vibratory resonances.
I also love drinking coffee and talking. About anything, really. Hopefully it's stimulating. Maybe it's about books, or time travel, or books about time travel. Or maybe philosophy, or the best way to grow tomatoes. But not politics, I'm not one for that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I really love Science Fiction and Fantasy. A book that recently changed my life is Anathem by Neil Stephenson. One of my favorite books of all time is The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. But my roots are in contemporary-classical literature and the writings of the Beat Generation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Breathed fresh air and drank clean water.

But wait, there's more, just ask.

Teach, Learn, Share

I dunno, what do you want to know?
Wirewrapping?
Embroidery?
Knitting?
Crochet?
Lacto Fermentation?
Building a wikiup?
Leather working?
Chopping wood?
Building fires?
Writing?
I know a lot about rocks
And a little bit about magic

Just ask, it's hard to say what I know and don't know. I do know that I don't know quite a bit, and would love any opportunity to learn pretty much anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share the best company that I am capable of, much gratitude, good cleanliness, and respect of you and your space.
