CURRENT MISSION

Make peace sexy.

ABOUT ME

I perform satirical direct actions that end up with Nazi sympathizers getting very angry and yelling in my ear with a megaphone.

On a totally unrelated note, I facilitate nonviolence workshops for the Alternatives to Violence Project. www.avpusa.org

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed gypsy caravans, abandoned office buildings, school buses, etc., around the world and it's been the greatest. A few years ago, I surfed for eight weeks with 15 different hosts in Richmond, VA. I particularly like to meet adventurers / artists / questioners / troublemakers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I walked into my first CS host's apartment and in the living room someone was being suited up with armour to go LARPing.
