ABOUT ME

I never know how to sum myself up in these things...I'm nice enough. I kinda nerd out. I'll cook for you. We can have interesting conversations about stuff and junk. Im down for whatevs! Let's paint the town. Here's to uppers, downers, and all-arounders.

PHILOSOPHY

cultural relativism...I try not to put all my eggs in one basket. Change is the only constant. I try to keep it positive. I like to keep it moving in the present moment by diving right into whatever presents itself. I really enjoy the words of the spiritual entertainer Alan Watts-check him out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely share extensive knowledge on anything involving the raw food diet, juicing, juice fasting, the paleolithic diet, fruitarian diet, and other alternate dietary paths that veer away from the standard American way of eating.
