CURRENT MISSION

"To live fearlessly with and within difference...in a pluriverse: a world where many worlds fit."(Escobar)

-deep concern for social justice, radical equality of all beings, and non hierarchy.

ABOUT ME

I have been told many things about myself. weird, unique, funny, ambitious, adventurous.

I like dark deep forests especially, watching the ocean, thunderstorms, abandoned railways/buildings, rooftops, reading materials, trees (especially spruces and pines, but also dipterocarpus), wildplants, insects, photography, tofu, antiquities, growing vegetables, dogs and cats and horses and chickens, classifications of clouds, imagining exoplanets, stones, flutes, old clothing, tennis, bicycles, fungi, political debates.

PHILOSOPHY

living simply, respecting creatures whoever/whatever they might be. respect = happiness.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think this is an amazing opportunity to share experiences, share knowledge, words and bring spaces together in a remarkable way. A mechanism built on fostering relationships across the world and even in one's own local community- a model for opening up to the world and sharing in each other's bounties.
