CURRENT MISSION

You know. Live and love.

ABOUT ME

From Seattle, then San Diego, San Francisco, and now Oakland. I'm vegan, a climate/environmental/social justice activist, rock climber, motorcyle rider, bicyclist, hiker, camper, soccer player, dog lover, music collector, and a few other things I'm sure. I played in punk bands in my younger years, toured as a sound engineer for years after that, now dedicated my work to building a movement to address climate change. I have been working for the global climate change campaign 350.org for many years now, and groups like Greenpeace and others previously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to this website, but been a long time couchsurfer and provider - mostly via informal networks of activism and the music community. But traveling should be about something deeper than tourism - building and experiencing community is essential to the human experience.

Interests

Climbing, hiking, camping. Scuba diving. Playing with dogs. Music (generally of the indie/rock/hip-hop/punk/metalvariety). Did I mention dogs? Oh yeah, dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Motorcycled across the Himalaya? Climbed Mount Rushmore? Organized 300,00+ people to demonstrate for climate justice?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a lovely house I own in Oakland, just a 10 minute walk to downtown, or 12 minutes to the BART train to San Francisco. It's an all-vegan home, with lovely roommates/friends, a nice sleeping loft for guests, a hot tub and more.
