CURRENT MISSION

Rescue me from level headedness and the unnescessary luxury of the being calm.

ABOUT ME
Educator (a.k.a. mentor, artist-in-residence, occasional lackey) and grad student currently completing a Master’s in Psychology with a focus on Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy. Enthusiast of the odd; champion of the strange.

I teach Media, Visual Arts, and Ancient Studies, and I’m also diving deep into the world of clinical counselling and psychotherapy. I love art, books, music, politics, and all the curious, messy things that make being human so fascinating.

I enjoy meeting interesting people, long walks with good conversation, and cooking and sharing cozy meals together.

PHILOSOPHY

"The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely “well-adjusted”, he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists between antisocial types in their power to see environments as they really are.”

- Marshall McLuhan & Quentin Fiore, The Medium is the Message

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You get to meet those you wouldn't normally in your regular day to day — creating relationships with people you might never meet otherwise. I find the whole experience amazing.

Interests

Pretty coffee table books, pseudo science, nonfiction, dancing, staying up late, fighting crime, photography, typography, history and old dusty objects...and eating.
