About Me

Hello, I'm Tara.
I'm brand new to couch surfing! and hoping to connect with some people in Oslo + Bergen while I'm visiting in January and February.

I think of most things I do as related to design. Most days, I am working on these two projects, both of which I co-founded this year:
- 💾🌵(diskcact.us) ===> An art + technology studio in West Oakland, CA.
- This will take time (thiswilltaketime.org) ===> land-based non-profit organization in Point Arena, CA.

WALKING is a practice that will loosely scaffold this trip. I hope to walk to many places with many people over the course of 6 weeks. Please join me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶Walking🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

I will embark on a series of 'slow walks' to immerse in the urban and natural landscape in Oslo and Bergen, and I invite you to join me!

I want to cultivate a ground-level understanding of place. Walking is a way to be together in public space and be curious about the space around us, from the ultra-mundane to the super strange. some walks i'd like to explore:

NorSea Com 1 cable landing site - where the physical internet meets land!
- NATO underground bunkers
- Molen rock piles
- find Siri
- find Harold Bluetooth
- power walk (walk based on power infrastructure)
- soil walk
- ???
