I’m a curious and friendly individual who loves to watch, talk, and learn from others. Also very passionate about the environment and engaging with the outdoors in various ways. I view My life as my art and I also like to coddiwomple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a way to meet down to earth, groovy people who are okay with things being rough. Couchsurfing is a way to explore and engage with places and people unique to the platform.

Interests

I’m profoundly interested in ethnology and art as significant outlets for expressing our perceptions, and the implications when we perceive another’s expression. I believe culture is a fascinating concept that leaves me wondering about how we decide where and with whom to be people. I am an advocate for the environment and am interested in a low-cost, slow-life lifestyle. Some deeper interests lie in generative agriforestry and restoration ecology as ways to expand social-economic-environmental systems and introduce vital elements back into the planet and ourselves.

Music, Movies, and Books

Alternative, folk and bluegrass style music
Authors such as Dostoyevsky, Lispector, Woolf, Camus. I enjoy prose and stream-of-consciousness writing. I don’t watch many movies, but I love documentaries on most subjects! Sci-fi is almost always a hit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn others way of thinking, hearing their perspectives and challenging them on what they think.
I can teach the importance of sustainable living, promoting a holistic approach in which to live.
I love to share early experiences, as I think they set the stage for the rest of our lives. I find that many events during childhood deeply affect every part of our lives. In sharing these, I hope to find understanding, learn about myself and others, and construct a future being ever mindful of my actions around others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy to resource for dinner or breakfast and cooking! (predominantly organic/whole food vegan), tidying spaces, or a simple share of coffee and tea. I would love to share perspectives, beliefs and understanding from a place of interest in the other. I often sleep early and rise early; I may be a quiet guest.
