CURRENT MISSION

A life lived without passion, adventure, and laughter is no kind of life I reckon

ABOUT ME

For work - freelance landscaping, growing organic food for a farmers market and cooking. For play - food, friends, music, love, fires, and excursions.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll just use this as a section for favorite quotes I've encountered from the famous and my personal heroes
"Never question your way out of a good story"
"Don't be reckless with other people's hearts and don't put up with those who are reckless with yours"
"Better get to living, you'll soon enough be dead"
“Like most others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles - a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other - that kept me going.”
If you have the chance to make this place better in anyway, do it. The meaning of life is to live it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing but have only had good experiences with people staying at the farm and with those who've hosted me. I have been travelling alot the past year and find that staying with people who truly love where they live yields the best time. Now I'm trying to pay it forward.

兴趣

I really like to garden - there's nothing like the feeling while eating something you helped to make happen. I like to ride my bicycle and run, take pictures, hear good stories, read how-to books, and document the abundance of outrageous declarative statements I hear everyday. I like to ski and hike and swim in really cold water. I have been collecting music since I was a bored 4th grader and love sharing (and receiving) new music! I've been told I have a knack for cooking and I love feeding people and sharing recipes. I enjoy beekeeping and landscaping and I'm expanding my cheese making abilities. Mostly, I like waking up in the morning and living every minute of every damn day.

音乐、电影和书籍

I mostly read satyrical stuff if I read fiction, which is more rare than the adverse. I read the news probably too much but I'm always reading anything that can teach me how to create or recycle or cook in clever ways. I'm open to most music except alot of mainstream pop or country (bad pop with a twang). I like alot of movies, especially the Boondock Saints, Mary and Max, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Modern Times, True Stories and all Wallace and Gromit.
