I'm a 24 year old photographer and farmer deeply interested in community. My home base is Berkeley, CA.

For the past two years, I have been working on a fine-art photography project making intimate portraiture of people living in cooperative and communal land projects. I recently spent three months in Israel and Palestine working on the project. I'm about to embark on a journey to explore communal life along the West Coast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I generally stay in various communities while I am traveling, but it can be very helpful to have help from different folks along the way, especially places to stay when I need to break up longer drives. My experiences with couchsurfing have been great.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to listen and play music. Indie rock, folk, experimental, jazz, and new classical music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have advanced skills as a farmhand (organic, biodynamic, bio-intensive / urban), basic experience working in permaculture food forests, basic animal husbandry, intermediate construction skills, as well as knowledge of non-violent communication and consensus process. I love to work-trade with folks while I am staying with them.
