CURRENT MISSION

"I know you, you know me - one thing I can tell you is you've got to be free--"

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician, student, and climber.

Music is the electricity that recharges my spirit. My current projects include work with two of my dear friends, a group we've dubbed "The Lamplighters"; recording with my roommate, Christopher; and continual manufacturing of new songs and ideas.

My classes prepare my mind to navigate a treacherous landscape of truth statements, to separate wheat from chaff, to judge for myself that which I should incorporate into my understanding of reality. Of course, there's no substitute for direct teaching, and I've learned more from my dear friends than I could ever learn in a classroom.

Climbing is a new-found passion in my life; I am the practical permutation of my sister, who is an aerial dancer and circus performer in New York City.

I come from a large family, raised fundamentalist Christian on a farm in Montana. Now I'm a student of evolution and environmental science, a free-minded curious wanderer with so much to learn. Teach me something!

PHILOSOPHY

My life philosophy revolves around conscious, intentioned self-improvement - while I believe that you must love yourself and the things that you do, I also believe that we can all strive to come closer to our own personal ideals. Life is a constant struggle with powerful moments of soul-healing respite scattered haphazardly throughout.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a part of the GreenScene family, and we host when we can, putting special emphasis on hosting those from other countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my move in to the GreenScene, we've hosted a number of wonderful CouchSurfers - it's always amazing to garner an international perspective, and to expand my understanding of what people expect from life.

Some of my dearest friends are active CouchSurfers, and I've met so many amazing people who are all part of the network - so I'm finally putting together a profile!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share what I've learned regarding philosophy of language, environmental ethics, sustainability, and physics...I love to talk science or play music with anyone who's interested!
