ABOUT ME

I'm pretty flexible as far as situations go. I like to have discussions on all sorts of subjects. I try to be open to all kinds of opinions and ways of thinking. I like communal living and meeting people who do. I listen to my gut more than anything. I trust how I feel.(2009)

PHILOSOPHY

Go with your Gut

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've offered my couch to many people in person who I'm not sure are on this site yet. I've used this site for a couch once a couple of years ago.

Interests

metalworking, music, skill sharing, self-reliant living, painting, crafts and trades of all kinds. I like working with my hands and eyes. I like discussions related to radical mental health and all kinds of discussing. I like just being with and observing people who live different ways. Learning about all the ways people live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is what I found amazing, considering my life so far and my opinions: I quit smoking cigarettes four years ago. I never thought I could do it. I don't care if other people smoke cigarettes but for myself I was highly addicted and it was effecting my health.(written in 2009)
