About Me

I'm a professional cuddler and facilitator in several spaces, including erotic/vulnerable work that use the Wheel of Consent as a foundational practice. I have a PhD in physics and I have a company that distinguishes between forged and authentic Jackson Pollock art works.

I moved to Seattle in part to advocate for myself in my relationships. I’m polyamorous and am excited to have found a community here that supports me in that. I’m always happy to talk about my experience and would love to meet more people in the lifestyle.

SOME THINGS I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOU THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN YOUR MESSAGE

NON-COUCHSURFING OFFER:
So we're actually looking for a new roommate April 1... We had someone lined up but they fell through. If you're considering moving to Seattle and want a place to land we'd love to have a temporary or long term person! Unfortunately we couldn't offer that room for free though. Inquire about price and such if you're interested or know anyone in the area who might be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a part of this community for a while and love the opportunities and experiences it has provided me. I also appreciate being able to host and have diverse people from around the world at my doorstep.

Philosophically I'm on Couchsurfing because we need more interconnectedness and cross pollination of ideas. We need communities that support and see each other and hear different perspectives.

Interests

I love walking, traveling (hitchhiking is the preferred method), learning anything, teaching what I can, playing games, snowboarding, skiing, breathing, juggling, acroyoga, slacklining, river rafting, mountain biking, water, watching movies, dancing and to be as a child with the insight of someone with a few more years.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Life is Beautiful sums me up pretty well. Also Waking life, American Beauty, In Bruge, Adaptation... Books: I love non-fiction. 'Far From the Tree', 'Lost Connections', 'Utopia for realists', and 'How not to Die' are all books that have spurred lasting interest in some exciting areas. I've been on a basic income and nutrition kick for the last months.
Music: I love so much and I never remember the names of anything. I guess I have two modes that encompass much, dancing and being. Actually those categories meld together with certain things also... I guess I like energy and silly for dancing, thoughtful or smooth for being.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The 3 sisters traverse in sandals. All in all, 3 peaks (North, Middle, & South Sister), 20 miles, 9,800 ft gained (and lost) in under 24 hours. Recently also did Mount Olympus in sandals.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, Math, Physics, Juggling, Slacklining, Swing Dancing, Acroyoga.
Learn: Languages, Math, Physics, Programming, Juggling, Acroyoga, Slacklining, Dancing, Cooking...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Joy, laughter, conversations, a shared meal, dancing, and many more things!

What Csers Can Share With Me:

If I were living my rich life there are some areas where I'd splurge. Money is just a tool to live a life you want though, often friends (new and old) can give us much of the support we need.

Here's a list of things that I'd love more of in my life.
*) Random morsels of food given to me throughout the day (preference for vegan/vegetarian)
*) Help keeping my large space clean.
*) Help with projects
*) Musical or artistic expression being shared with the home.
*) Surprises

IS OUR COMMUNITY HOUSE RIGHT FOR YOU?

We offer space for you to be yourself without much external pressure. I love to spend time with csers when I can but most often I am busy. If you're looking for a tour guide I'm probably not the right host for you!

If you are a member or ally of a marginalized community (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Non-monogamous, etc) than we are much more likely to host you.
