I am a seasonal worker and traveler who will be in Oceania for about two weeks meeting with educators of the Mana Tamariki school in New Zealand and spending time with Maori indigenous educators in order to have an intercultural dialogue and exchange for youth and education.

I am a performance artist that has studied printmaking, video, sound, and digital experimental techniques (final cut pro nerd). I love talking about how art can change the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time ever to Australia and New Zealand and I would love to hear about why you love where you live. It is wonderful when a person opens up their home for connection and positive adventure.
