About Me

My goal is to go on the biggest, baddest adventure of a lifetime, help people along the way, make mistakes and get messy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am embarking on a 4 months work-trade adventure around BC and although I have workaway hosts set up throughout, I am looking for new friends in between.

Interests

Programming, soil fertility, carbon sequestration, waste stream diversion, body work and movement.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm going through a pretty big psychedelic/ambient/downtempo/trance phase right now. My biggest influences are Zymosis, Koan, CBL, Macintosh Braun, Oka, Emancipator, Miktek...

Kurt Vonnegut is hilarious. I can't remember another time where I'd be reading by myself and laughing out loud with my book. I also love me some epic fantasy, swords and sorcery and the like. Currently on book 4 of the Dark Tower heptilogy, Roland is such a consummate badass.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found myself at 8000 feet in Arizona, herding a flock of sheep. I had just met this Navajo couple about an hour before and they drove me out into the desert and dropped me off. She said, pointing around "In an hour, bring them here and then over there and there. In a few hours start herding them back. Oh, and be careful, they will try to hide from you, very sneaky some of them are."

What ensued was one of the craziest experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I approve of and love all 3 of those.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll not only cook you a fantastic meal but also do the dishes, take your dog for a walk and work on that knot under your shoulder blade that has been bothering you for a while now.

I've also been tutoring math and science for a decade so if you have kids or have friends that have kids that could use a hand, I do that too.

Having issues with your computer? Consider it fixed.
