About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fearlessness

ABOUT ME

Right now I spend my time studying anthropology at University. Reading lots about people and writing, hanging out with friends, cooking food, adventuring.

I believe in individuality and creativity, dreaming and story telling to create change. Getting off the map. Do the what's unexpected.

I get really excited talking about creating change in the world. Activism around creating stronger non-capitalistic communities, anti-racism, anti-heterosexism. I love playing with my friends and reveling in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I think about life in terms of growing. Experiences as nutrients (including in the form of manure). A plant never grows too fast or too slow, but just right, like me!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Talking it up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've spent time on friend's and relative's couches, but I look forward to meeting some friendly strangers.

Interests

I love hearing people's stories, about their day, family, travel, whatever.

I enjoy cooking and serving people, playing host. When I get the time I love immersing myself in something creative - singing, writing, painting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lately, getting to know people in a deep way has been blowing me away. The more individuals I meet and spend time with, the more I marvel at the uniqueness of all individual.

Or petting a cow's tongue is cool too..

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to cook with people to teach or learn. The next experience I am looking for is baking pastries.

I'm always into sharing stories and visions and dreams.

Making art, music, a mess... whatever. just making things.
