CURRENT MISSION

Always running for the thrill of it!

ABOUT ME

CURRENT: I just finished a seasonal job at Emandal, a farm on a river in Willits, CA. It was *awesome* and now I've hit the ground running in Portland, hellbent on reinvention!

80% hippie. The rest is a work in progress. I am constantly moving, running, walking, hiking, thinking, writing or sleeping. I make art out of found objects. I write all sorts of things like short stories, love letters, plays, poems and to-do lists. i love to crochet, and i have too much yarn. I love to read, and i have too many books and not enough time. I love communities. permaculture warms my heart.

I thrive by being a part of something bigger than myself, and participating in the world in a proactive manner. I like to think that I am part of the cure, not the disease.

PHILOSOPHY

"art is why i wake up in the morning."

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got to host once before I flew out of the country, and it was a lovely experience. Aside from that, I'm relatively new to surfing, so forgive me if i make obvious mistakes in requesting couches, asking silly obvious questions, etc. I make up for it in washing dishes and making cheesy jokes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed in NZ and it was fantabulous. I met great people that changed the course of my life for good!

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

Volunteered for Archelon, Sea Turtle Protection Agency in Kyparissia, Greece. Giving a wee little turtle a fighting chance is something to be stupidly proud of.
