CURRENT MISSION

Spread love to all people and things. Admire natural phenomena and created artifacts. Learn about people.

ABOUT ME

I love getting out and hiking and exploring, I play upright bass for fun and tend to write verbose emails. I like to manipulate disturbed ecosystems to previous, natural trajectories. I always need to be growing and changing.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and self determination for all people. Ecosystem resiliance. Native rights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not hosted yet but I have a futon and live close to a bus stop in central Austin, TX. I will be needing to find people to crash with in Rio in July. I play in a duet and we are dying to tour, so that will probably involve some couch surfing too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CS.
