2025 and I'm back Couchsurfing!
Ripened, matured, aged well.
At least I think so...

Eclectic. Curious. Playful. Like a child who keeps a diary, enjoys work, folds their clothes, and enjoys domestic activities.
Sometimes introverted, sometimes extroverted.
Previously a teacher, this year I get the privilege of just being an artist. Call it a sabbatical year, in reality it's more like micro-dosing retirement.

I'm from lutrawita/ Tasmania, the small, cold, and south island of Australia. It's very beautiful and wild.
A country kid, I usually get more excited by grass diversity in a field than human architecture.
Love food: Love to cook, love to grow and forage and get into the weeds. A farmers market is a certified good time.
I'm big on community and tend to do lots of work, be that in education or in arts, that explores how we relate to one another and the world around us.
I am independent and enjoy my own company. That said, I love people. Love locals and everyday culture. Love how weird humans are.
Big on service, hospitality, and contributing in meaningful ways where I can. Find me at the sink, doing the dishes.

I get nerdy over niche things, get fiery when it comes to advocacy, try to connect over differences, never grew out of the concept of play, and love to talk deep over banal things (aka: talk shit).

they/them/all.
