About Me

I was last on Couchsurfing ~10+ years ago. I grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Last fall I moved to Berlin after living in California for 10 years. I like to read a lot -- fiction, science fiction, essays, philosophy. I'm often reading many books at once. I make digital language art, like this: https://two.compost.digital/pieceslast/clock-basket-no-1/ and I build web applications to pay the bills. I love walking.

I like to hang out and meet people, but I don't need to be very actively hosted -- I'm very good at doing my own thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people in new places! I like meeting new people and getting a glimpse of what life can be like.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a thing or two about electronic literature and book making. Can also teach how to make a Frito Pie. I also know a few things about Javanese gamelan music, as well as percussion in the Indian Carnatic tradition (like the mridangam). I can teach you how to play a fun drawing game called 5 second animals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook tasty soups and I'm very good at listening.
