CURRENT MISSION

Do what's worthwhile

ABOUT ME

Hi! I recently stopped working, so I wanted to seize all this new-found spare time to see more of this wonderful world and meet some amazing folks.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still figuring this one out, and I love hearing people's different perspectives on what gives their lives meaning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but I hope that changes soon!

Interests

The two most important things to me are good people and good food.

I enjoy communal cooking, very many vegetables, conversations with strangers, the great outdoors, blues dancing, aikido, midnight adventures, thrifting, and making jewelry.

Recently, I've been interested in urban homesteading, sustainable agriculture, and social justice.
