CURRENT MISSION

"Create something beautiful or die trying".

ABOUT ME

I first got into couchsurfing during my first solo cross country road trip in 2009!! and now, in 2018, I have been traveling full time with NO home base for over 5 years!!! I've looped through 30 some odd countries and counting - making my way as a freelance artist and entrepreneur. I travel abroad once or twice per year, while touring mostly in the United states out of my van.

About me:
Addicted to the world and exploration. Bewitched by the mountains and oceans - and all the strange, new cities I find on the way! I believe in the importance of educating oneself based on experience and practice.
I've travelled a few places in the past, but the world is big and there's much more to see.

I'm silly, smart and absent minded, I have a bunch of rainbow animals tattooed on my arm. Gemini - charming, witty, interested in everything at once, somehow :D Easily distracted, enjoys constant stimulation of the mind.

I want to meet others who realize the quality of friendship has nothing to do with distance or proximity. I've met some of my best friends in person a handful of times over years. I'm thrilled when my faraway friends keep in touch!

...I really need to update my travel photos :)

PHILOSOPHY

You are the reality you create!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to build a network of friends and good times all over this darn planet. Spread the good word of the couch, ya hear?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On my way out to Burningman 2009 I had about 3-4 days worth of driving to tackle completely by myself. A friend of mine recommended couchsurfers and reported positive experiences. Now that I've done it, I couldn't agree more. I've had the best hosts along the way and met some amazing people through the couchsurfing camp at the burn, and I hope to continue meeting many more.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In recent memory:

Hiking the steepest point in Zion National Park
Watching lava flow into the Ocean on Hawaii
Sunrise riding down the Grand Canal in Venice
Hiking the Swiss Alps
Canoeing 5 miles into the swamp of the Everglades and spending the night on a chickee... by far, the most impressive starry night I have ever seen in my life.

教，学，和分享

I can cook up a storm!! I believe that's how I earned my first vouch :)
I've bits and pieces of skills and talent in many departments. Happy to exchange personal photos for the kindness of my couchsurfing host - I'll shoot your apartment (do you need great photos for air bnb?), YOU - you and a loved one, your dog, anything I can do to leave a token of appreciation behind :)

I'd love to learn from those who can truly survive under any circumstance. I want to learn from people who've experienced more than me. Who are better than me.

Things I'd love to learn or get better at in the near future:
hiking, sustainable living, scuba diving, new recipes :)
