CURRENT MISSION

Get to San Diego!

ABOUT ME

I travel, dumpster, recycle, patch my friends' clothes and lives when they need it, mediate between rich and poor, artist and engineer and cavort about life in an attempt to find happiness and people with integrity. My heart belongs to punk rock and I'll chat with you about the other wonders of the world too. Soon I'll be moving out to San Diego (in the US) to live in a co-op with a wonderful group of people I'm quite fond of.

PHILOSOPHY

Questioning the status quo of capitalist living: you're supposed to work to make money to buy things that make you happy. If you're already satisfied with your life, do the thousands change that much? I appreciate that which surrounds me and focus more on the people in my life than the decor on the walls.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We're all pieces in a puzzle: the more pieces you have, the more interesting it gets.

Interests

Woof. I guess the word is design - I've a BS in Architecture, and working is like playing to me. I sew and such. Music is my life. It gives you instant connections, instant friends and followship. Within that world, I've done sound design, worked at venues, snuck into and hosted countless shows and helped my favorite artists with selling merch. I like neurology, biochem, and anatomy. Learning about different food and nutritional info is interesting too - growing it, benefits, ways it can be given to people who don't have it. I'm currently working with an environmental activist group and may be interested in all sorts of things which have escaped me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam past the reef and there beyond was a void in the blue that engulfs you and leaves you stranded at once. I peddaled back but never forgot it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Architecture, structures, materials, interior design. Neurobiology, psychoarchitecture and psychopharmachology. Activism, constitutional rights, and legalese. How to sweet talk a city into doing what you want. How to organize a mess on your desk, an issue in your future or a group of salwarts. Just ask.
