CURRENT MISSION

I'm going full nomad in 2018, so the current mission is making that a tenable and fun reality.

ABOUT ME

Oh man, this bio is about 10 years old. I'm having flashbacks to my incredible Tenderloin studio apartment in San Francisco where I happily hosted so many surfers and dinner parties. I feel totally different and yet totally the same.

PHILOSOPHY

Do no harm but take no shit.

on a rumi kick... (these are still great)
"don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. unfold your own myth...then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting."
"chew quietly on your sweet sugarcane God-Love and stay playfully childish."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been dormant for a long time because life but will be forever grateful to Couchsurfing for all the friendships that came from this that've survived so many years. Seriously, some of my best, ride-or-die hommies came from this. The planet is tiny.

Thanks to Xavier and Jerome, my hosts in Paris, Ilaria and Aubrie, my hosts in Italy, Mascha and Margerita, my hosts in Vienna, and the Fantastic Four (the Camilles, Louise and Ben), my hosts in Paris. And to all the many many people who have housed me on couches, in guest rooms and goddess dens over the years.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently listening to... other people's Spotify playlists for ideas. I like folk, hip hop, indie, good for dancing, good for rainy days, good for hurrying through airports.

Currently watching... I finally broke down and started watching Game of Thrones. I lovehate it.

Currently reading... Focusing by Eugene Gendlin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bare and blissful, waded out chest deep into the Pacific, tigers circling at our feet, drum circle pounding at our backs, watched the sky turn all kinds of neon and compared tattoos with utter strangers.

((a lot of cool things have happened since, but this remains a great moment))

Teach, Learn, Share

Lately I'm learning how to become resilient in the face of failure. It's a tough one.

I want to hear about what you've been learning lately.
