CURRENT MISSION

Meeting amazing people, and making a difference. Plus getting the most out of every moment!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm a music loving, drum playing, dancing, camping, biking, hard working, fun loving person. I love meeting amazing new people or hanging out with old friends, and always having intense conversations about society, nature, spirituality, science, and anything new and interesting. I'm curious by nature, open minded but something of a skeptic, and willing to try anything twice!

PHILOSOPHY

Hm. Have to ask me about that in person.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I generally host surfers, because I have too many commitments right now to travel, though I get out and about whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed around the US a hand full of times while traveling, but mostly I've hosted people a lot while living in Northern California for several years.

Centres d'intérêt

Nature, hiking, camping, rock climbing, drumming (especially african/afrocuban/multicultural), juggling, dancing, speaking spanish, working with my hands and living a low impact life, loving every minute.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I've drummed in a bunch of fun samba parades across the Pacific Northwest. Hoping to play in Brasil some time.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I LOVE swing dancing - shag, Lindy hop, Charleston, Balboa, (and yes, blues). I also love to teach others swing dancing, and to take people out swing dancing with me when I travel. If you've never been swing dancing in your own city, let's go!!

I know a bit about natural building, especially with cob. Also about bicycle powered appliances. I'm also pretty good at teaching people how to juggle.
