Overview
About Me
Kia ora!
I like people, music, the wilderness, and drinking tea. I am more than happy to live off the scraps of society. And, incidentally, I am the luckiest person on Earth.
Some ideas that keep me going:
It's best to drink wine on rooftops
The second best day to plant a tree is today
Some things that I value:
Self-determination
Inclusiveness
Community solidarity
Anti-discrimination
Consumption/waste minimisation
What ever those things are...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been fortunate to have met many hundreds of beautiful people through this website.
Interests
Community activism, sustainability, permaculture, Indigenous perspectives, dumpster diving while listening to Mozart, and simple living.
But I find all kinds of things interesting. Foraging and fermentation are currently keeping me occupied.
