**I can't figure out how to change my location, but it is now in High Falls, New York.**

My friend Anya and I are traveling to Florida/New Orleans. We are both seasoned travelers; definitely leave-no-traces kind of folks. We will have our own bedding.

I am a gardener, tree worker, artist, experimental musician, and lover of contemporary art, nature, and animals.

Anya is a poet, feminist, and community organizer.

PHILOSOPHY

Nature seems to be the only thing that makes sense to me. I am, however, intrigued by the ephemeral, spiritual and unexplained phenomena thoroughly interwoven throughout our existences. As a child and certainly to this day, Native American spirituality has been -- to varying degrees -- present in my life, thanks to my father.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I've been on Couchsurfing for about 8 years, and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. I love meeting new people, hearing their ideas about life, and seeing how they live, how people work with different types of land, hopefully in sustainable and community-driven ways.

Interessi

Art and music are my primary interests. I have a passion for contemporary classical and experimental music and art, with many pleasures in electronic dance music, pop music, etc. I feel most comfortable with nature, but am very stimulated by city life. I love exploring and embracing the many conflicts inherent to cities. I spend a lot of time listening to and appreciating music, making art, talking to friends about ambiguous ideas, going for long walks or bike rides where ever I may be, whether it's the countryside or city.

Hiking, canoeing, making sculptures, cooking, gardening, going to shows. Things like that ...

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

First thing that comes to mind (there are many, but I've spent enough time on this profile...) is touring the East Coast and Midwest with my sound duo, Dense Reduction, while we did live sound work for the silent Super 8mm films of Dutch filmmaker Jaap Pieters.

Travelling Ireland for 6 months and hitchhiking everywhere and camping in fields.
