Howdy! I'm Billie Grey, lifelong rambler, artist and professional filmmaker. I'm currently on a mission to connect with artists around the world and make various collaborative works of music, poetry, fashion, puppetry, construction and otherwise, so that we can have an international pipeline of travel and radical artmaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see a lot of power in the dissolving of financial boundaries between one person and another. I see this simple app as a tool of great power that can lower the boundaries of material possession (or lack of) and nationality. There's no way to make transcendental works of art without being able to experience the transcendence of ones comfort and material reality.
