CURRENT MISSION

To found an ecovillage, farm and cafe for artists & other creatives as a nurturing space for individuals and groups to (re)connect with nature & to pursue projects that foster sustainable culture.

ABOUT ME

I recently relocated to Richmond, KY after some previous travel plans to work on farms around the states didn't work out , I took some friends up on an offer to host me down here. Now we all live together. They have a really awesome studio space in an old Tobacco warehouse that I work in from time to time. But, I am primarily focusing on planning projects focusing the non-profit I'm working on.

Currently I find myself interested in where art, activism, permaculture/sustainability, and cultural/community empowerment meet. I'm looking for people with similar interests. Ideally people who would be interested in participating in the project.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel as though the constellations of people that walk the Earth right now are here for a special reason, that the seeking out of our destinies and personal legends may help heal this planet and its inhabitants. This is what wakes me and keeps me motivated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

PLEASE do not be deterred by reply percentage. I've been a bit of a transient phase since being on this website... but I plan on using it much more often in the coming months.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My last couch surfing experience was in Brooklyn--and its safe to say, I fell in love. With the city that is.
