CURRENT MISSION

Explore New England's wild places; find friends in my newly adopted country (the US); meet fellow activists working on the environment and climate change!

ABOUT ME

I have just landed in the beautiful city of Keene, NH, and can't wait to explore the US!

I get excited about: meeting awesome folk and seeing what fires them up; exploring the natural world (mountains, forests, lakes); campaigning on poverty and climate change; identifying trees (they're different on this side of the Atlantic!); long distance cycling (the best way to travel); hitchhiking (second best); finding alternative communities that are living in accordance with the earth; discovering new culture in music, song, poetry, books.... And I'm desperate to connect with US activists working on fossil fuels, climate change, poverty and injustice. We have much work to do!

PHILOSOPHY

“Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.” ― Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have hosted people in Edinburgh and have surfed in Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland and Canada.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I LOVE the concept of connecting with living, breathing locals and making friends - all while on an adventure. Also, it's free!

I am NOT into jet-setting, selfie-snapping, hotels or AirBnB... I like to take my time in a place, get to know the ambience, and learn from the wisdom of those who live and work there.

Intereses

I LOVE talking politics, social change, climate change, awesome projects that are really, truly kicking ass and changing the world... And I love meeting people who share this too :-)

But more importantly, take me to a pub and show me some good beer, and I am your friend for life.

And if anyone's ever up for teaching my yoga, jiu jitsu, or kayaking... That would be awesome!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Hitchhiked from Toronto to Vancouver in Spring 2012. (So ready for more adventures!)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can darn socks, play the piano, strip a bike (and rebuild, hopefully), find good pubs in strange cities -- all these wonderful skills I can pass to you.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Stories, excitement, good chat, reviews of movies I've seen, philosophical questions about the state of the world... But no fear! I'm polite, autonomous, tidy, and I'll be lovely to your home / pets / children / housemates!
