CURRENT MISSION

waking up to the dream

ABOUT ME

Recently I find myself engaged with sustainability, permaculture, contact dance, bodywork.

I love farming/gardening, creative cooking, exchange and growth through conversation. I like to see things outside of the institutional frame.. People living creatively for themselves and each other. I have a hard time with the idea of not knowing what you may or may not be working for, contributing to, representing.

I believe in the endless pursuit of embodiment, to be engaged, complex parts of our environment..

PHILOSOPHY

Self-determination, freedom and biodiversity in all its forms. grassroots. DIY.

I love philosophy and discussions on language. I am a huge nerd for the idea of phenomenology. I like to think of it as attempting to have one's own experience without it being imposed on by ideas whether your own or those of others. Allowing the senses to be free from the 'rational'.. Bringing the attention to what is actually happening in each moment. Bertolt Brecht anyone?

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, met artists from other cities & exchanged bodywork.

I would love to offer bodywork and cooking to hosts or surfers. I used to have a job as a manny that turned into a job as a personal chef for a family of 6. ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

great! have met likeminded people, connected locally in places where I otherwise wouldn't have.
