Hey, I’m Mars — born in Detroit, raised on the West Coast, and always chasing connection, creativity, and community. I split my time between Detroit, operating a fleet of pedicabs downtown, and traveling the world during the colder months to soak up new ideas and friendships.

I’ve hosted folks from all walks of life and always aim to create a cozy, respectful space where deep conversations, spontaneous dance parties, and thoughtful exchanges can flourish. I don’t drink, but I’m high on life, movement, and meaningful connection. I believe in the power of love, the magic of kindness, and that a good pastry and a coffee can brighten your day.

I’m not looking for romance — just honest, open-hearted folks who want to share space, ideas, and maybe a bike ride or two. Let’s meet as strangers and part as friends.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Apart from the programming of flight sequences to allow for the activation of inter-dimensional hyperspace portals and sending trancemissions out the Detroit-O-Sphere with Ω Ground Crew XLR8R UFO technologies (wink), I joined Couchsurfing to connect with individuals who share my passion for meaningful conversations and are open to exploring new ideas and perspectives.

If you think we'd connect or want to chat, send me a message. I'm not interested in messages that lack respect and intellectual engagement.

兴趣

I’m drawn to movement, expression, and discovery — whether that’s dancing to psytrance under the stars, hitchhiking across unfamiliar landscapes, or capturing fleeting moments on film. I love street photography for its raw honesty and spontaneous beauty, and I’m always down for a late-night conversation about posthumanism, counterculture, or the wild ways we connect as humans.

I find deep joy in sharing ideas, trading stories, and learning how others see the world. I’m sober by choice, and I thrive in spaces where presence, curiosity, and authenticity lead the way. Keeping plants alive feels like a quiet act of hope, and hosting is one of my favorite ways to learn about people.

Books
I’m drawn to big ideas, strange truths, and radical perspectives. Some authors who’ve helped shape my worldview: Douglas Adams, Daniel Quinn, Richard Bach, Daniel Pinchbeck, Khalil Gibran, George Orwell, William Braden, Timothy Leary, Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe, Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann, Alexander Shulgin, Rick Strassman, Ram Dass, and Terence McKenna. If you’ve got a book that’s blown your mind, I want to hear about it.

Movies
I love films that ask big questions or bend reality. Favorites include Last Hippie Standing, Liquid Crystal Vision, Waking Life, I Heart Huckabees, Fight Club, A Clockwork Orange, Brazil, The Matrix, and DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Let’s watch something weird and talk about it after.

Some artists I vibe with: Kashyyyk, Will O’ Wisp, Mubali, Noise Gust, Psykovsky, Scorb, Xenomorph, Ocelot, Ghreg on Earth, Furious, Grapes of Wrath, Fractal Cowboys, Derango, Cannibal BBQ, Alien Mental, Luuli, Primordial Ooze, Electrypnose, Terrafractyl, Younger Brother, OTT, Shpongle, Timonkey, Shulman, Bluetech, Datavore, Highcosmos, Osom, Kindzadza, Penta, Savage Scream, Fungus Funk, The Nommos, Horror Place, Gorump Peyya, Baphomet Engine, Jellyheadz, Rawar, Sator Arepo, Arhyperziiman, Terranoise, Mental Extensions, Hedflux, Phsiris, Supersillyus, and Messy Mass…

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I biked from San Francisco to Detroit — thousands of miles powered by curiosity, resilience, and the kindness of strangers. It was a journey of self-discovery and connection, and it changed the way I see the world and my place in it.

教，学，和分享

I’m passionate about biking, dance, active meditation, holistic healthcare, yoga, photography, and travel — and I love sharing those passions in ways that feel organic and mutually enriching. I can teach you how to ride a pedicab, move freely through active meditation or dance, shoot film photography, or start a grassroots community project.

I’m deeply curious about how ancient tribal rituals can be reimagined for the 21st century — creating connection, healing, and meaning in a fast-moving world. I’d love to learn about your cultural practices, healing traditions, movement styles, and everyday philosophies.

I believe in exchange over transaction — whether it’s sharing a meal, a quiet moment, a creative idea, or a burst of laughter. Let’s connect through what lights us up.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share good conversation, thoughtful questions, and stories. I love taking portraits and can offer a little photo session if you’re into that — especially on 35mm film. I’m also happy to help around the house, cook a simple meal, or share what I’ve learned from building community projects in Detroit. If you’re curious about bikes, urban gardening, or alternative ways of living, I’ve got plenty to say. Mostly, I bring respect, gratitude, and a genuine interest in you.
