CURRENT MISSION

To get to know other lands around the world. To truly connect with other people. To not just be friendly for the sake of being friendly. I want realness from others, and I will do the same. I want to see change as well, and be a part of it.

ABOUT ME

I am based in Salt Lake City, but still have remained committed to exploring the world, different customs, and searching to connect radical peoples from all over the globe.

I am into sustainability, for yourself and for the world. I love Do It Yourself ethics. I'm good at fixing things, usually. I love biking in the street and walking wherever. I don't really like cars. I don't like hierarchies. I like friendly people. I don't like jerks. I like getting food from the trash, or saving food from going to the trash. I don't like living extravagantly.

I work with Food Not Bombs in Salt Lake, which is an international volunteer-run organization that redistributes food from grocery stores, bakeries, (and dumpsters), to those who need it.

I resist consumerism as much as I can.

Resistance to the things I see wrong in the world has become a focal point of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

We can talk about that if we ever meet up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used this site to travel many places in the world with outstanding success. I've done a fair amount of traveling and sleeping for free. Hitchhiking, hopping freight trains, urban camping.
Like I said above, I'm into doing things without money, as well as meeting new people, (especially those who like to do things without money!) Couchsurfing satisfies both of those comforts, so why not be a part of an internet community of people like that?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love cookies, a lot. One time I even hiked to the Pacific Ocean through Olympic National Park. Almost immediately upon arrival, I looked out, and lo, I harkened my eyes to focus on something colorful, floating out in the waves, and within one minute I had pulled a fresh package of cookies out of the sea. It was a good day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach people how to eat for free.
It's simple and rewarding. It always lets me, and other people know that they are helping out the earth and the organisms that live on it.

I know bike mechanics quite well.
I can teach you how to change your oil! I just learned! It's not that hard.
I know good techniques to keeping things clean, even if you're not a very clean person.

I am a very amateur carpenter.

I can teach you basics of guitar, trumpet, and music theory.

Juggling too.

I can try and show you how to cost corporate businesses a lot of time and money.

And I'm down for having all sorts of fun, so if you have a hobby, I'd love to practice it with you.

I love the idea of learning from people too.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, Spain
