CURRENT MISSION

to laugh, live, share, explore, and grow!
I also want to study permaculture, continue learning about medicinal plants, and learn how to tattoo.

ABOUT ME

* artist, writer, explorer
* former NYC resident
* living on the Oregon Coast for the last 4 months

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey, an exploration. I am taking each day as it comes with its own unique lessons and insights and trying to build upon all that has been experienced thus far. I live to make connections with others, to cultivate and share my own unique gifts and receive theirs. We are all here together with much to teach one another!
Oh and to HAVE FUN in the process :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately my current circumstances do not allow me to be a host.
I just moved to the Pacific Northwest and would love to make new friends though :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm pretty well versed in crashing on friend's couches, so I imagine CouchSurfing would be fairly similar...only with new friends I haven't met yet! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical taste is all over the map. I'm sure I share some common ground with a lot of people. Lately I have been listening to a lot of Rising Appalachia, Orchard Lounge, and whatever cheesy radio jams I can find.

The last awesome movie I saw is called Off The Map.

Currently reading The Botany of Desire and The Mists of Avalon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Co-creating an amazing handmade stage design with no budget and a team of 12 people for a music festival attended by 10,000, a 6-month apprenticeship on a medicinal herb farm, studying painting in Barcelona, driven cross-country a handful of times

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to help people get in touch with their inner creativity. It drives me crazy when people say they are not creative. Let me convince you otherwise!
How to dance with reckless abandon and not care what anyone else thinks about it
Scrabble/Boggle technique
I'd love to learn more about permaculture and plants native to the PNW.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to make you a yummy vegetarian meal and play some music with you. I'm also a good listener and people seem to have a really easy time opening up to me--I've had complete strangers tell me super personal things. Obviously you don't have to, but you know, I'm happy to listen.
I also seem to be great at helping people organize/clean/move their stuff!
Oh and I sincerely enjoy doing dishes :)
