Books & food!

I am vegan, sober, and I spend most of my time working out, reading, cooking, or sitting in the sun drinking coffee. I spent many years in the punk scene and anarchist community as an organizer.

I live with someone else who is vegan, and athletic, and pretty much totally sober.

I am most open to travellers who are part of the vegan/animal rights, anarchist, punk, or polyamory communities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have benefited from people putting me up when I traveled, and I like having guests.
