CURRENT MISSION

I'm a traveling poet from Houston, TX touring the country

ABOUT ME

I'm just a guy who writes and performs poetry trying to spread a message of peace, unity, community autonomy, self sufficiency, and compassion through art. So I travel the country and share ideas with people. I make enough off of featuring poetry venues around the country to continue touring constantly. I love meeting new people and have met a ton of amazing people in my journeys from doing things like this so once I found out there was a site I had to check it out.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in being. All the time. I also believe that whatever you believe is what's right for you. I like to learn about other people's understanding and am a huge fan of good conversations, but I do not debate….. I can’t….. You’re right….. to you…. When people get passionate about things like beliefs or belief systems, I usually enjoy listening more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling in my truck, I only get to cook with my lil traveling cooking tools. When I am able to get into a kitchen, I love to cook and worked as a chef and barista before I left to pursue poetry and do-good-ing. Strangely enough I also enjoy doing dishes. So when surfing, I am always willing to exchange my services of 5 star cooking, coffee, and cleaning up after it’s done. I am traveling to perform so I will have shows, so the meals will have to be flexible to that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From traveling across the country I’ve stayed with Burners, Flip-siders, Beatniks, Frat boys, Greek ladies, Really nice older people, Sacred geometrics, Circus performers, Free runners, Comic book artists and collectors of their works… in general…. People of all different religions, ethnicities, sexualities and political idealisms. I love humanity immensely. I’ve never met anyone other than us; and we are all pretty cool. I really love staying with artists, because I love to collaborate with artists across the country as I travel. I also teach writing workshops for all ages and levels so if you’re a writer, we could share tricks and trade secrets. I believe that the art community needs unity right now so that we can find a more powerful collective voice to initiate real change in our society and world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve climbed a mountain in Malibu and watched the sun sink in to the western ocean. I’ve smoked in the smoky mountains, drank in the deserts, but was left dry in Portland OR. I’ve befriended more people than I could fit in one city, so I spread them out across the country having good memories associated with different scenery….. and the whole time…. I’ve been here…. Now… being…. In the middle of it all...... it has so far been the adventure of a lifetime!

Teach, Learn, Share

Poetry (writing, editing, conjuring inspiration/defeating writers block), Cooking, Coffee (I use to do corporate training in latte art with Segafredo in Houston, I also was an espresso machine technician), if you are an indie artist I have a lot a good small independent companies that are great resources for us, so I’m always willing to share any and all info and tips for getting started, keeping going, and how to get support of the road.
