I grew up in the mountains and valleys of Idaho. For the first part of my life, until late middle school, I lived in a punk house in Boise, which I believe shaped my love for alternative living. I am self-employed most of the time, currently doing freelance writing and managing a non-for-profit website when I'm not tramping around. I am very friendly but I am also autistic, which makes me easily overwhelmed at times. Most likely I will want to be left alone at first, but I will quickly open up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm visiting the U.K. on an irresponsibly low budget and prefer not to sleep outside in some areas. It will also serve as a means of meeting people.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Wrong Ferrari (movie), Bob! Loudly (musician), Wolfi Landstriecher (theorist; I like most of his thoughts, anyway, but he is not without controversy), Sam Pink (artist and novelist), Pat the Bunny (musician), and Woody Guthrie (musician).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh God, this is hard. I have traveled across the United States four times in my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nothing. I'm barely functional in the housing department. I should change the settings.
