About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the crazy beauty in the mundane of the world

ABOUT ME

Originally from New York, I've gone to University in Montreal and Birmingham UK. I've been involved in Coop's and foodshares which have also worked as hostels, and Couchsurfing seems the logical way to go.

PHILOSOPHY

If there's something you want to do just do it. If you fail you're no worse off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll gladly open my apartment where ever I am, and do my best to bring music to a travellers journey.

Interests

Folk Festivals, music and traditional dance. Cooking especially vegan/vegetarianism. Environmental activism has largely taken over my life. Most recently I've been working with Greenpeace and NYPIRG though also done things with Friends of the Earth, People and Planet, The Camp for Climate Action.

Always debate and discussion, usually over good drink and food, about anything, philosophy, art, politics, pop-culture, the more random the better.
