Hello! My name is Thomas. I am 27 years old. I am a Zen Buddhist, and I have been a social worker, a farmer, caretaker for children, student, and activist within the last 5 years. I love to practice meditation, I love to hike and explore, and I love to dance. The world called out to me to explore this year, and I am having a great time learning about new places, inside and out.

I also play guitar. I will sing you a song!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing is caring! Community over commodity! We can lift each other up!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed with a romantic partner, and we had a great experience. I have also done my fair share of hitch'hiking, putting up strangers, and whatnot. I have lived in many different communal situations, co-ops and shared houses.

Interests

I won gold medals at tai chi competition! I am boasting to let you know I really like martial arts, chi, and movement.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left all my home and all my friends, and spend my birthday at a silent meditation retreat before road-tripping across the US. That was hard.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share songs, silence, and conversation. I can teach tai chi. I would like to learn about your life and the becoming of where you live now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am glad to share any knowledge I have. Playing music, dancing, meditating together, practicing tai chi. I have some nice teas right now, and I would love to share those.
