About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do the fire walk.

ABOUT ME

I am currently traveling with my partner from the Pacific Northwest to Brooklyn, New York. I'm in a period of transformation after being laid off in a field of work I had been in for the past three years.

Sustainable living and intentional community present high value to me right now. I am hoping to join a community near a forested area with a a river. Until then, I'm exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

self-doubt and self-importance are one in the same

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
