I'm an entrepreneur drafting my articles of incorporation. I travel frequently, and find improved health and happiness quotient due to travel. My guitar has been with me...off and on...for twenty years. I play improv. I volunteer and am a responder in disaster mitigation: remote mapping of satellite imagery in global data deserts, and deployable. I practice the usage of medicines we co-evolved with to treat chronic illness. I love all countries and take pride in my travel experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am most comfortable living in intentional communities. While traveling, I prefer to stay with other individuals rather than in a hotel. Being around like-minded people (ie those interseted in travel and cultures) always uplifts my spirit.

Interests

I love analyzing data. Being outdoors is the most vital component of my wellness regimen. I love to meditate beside bodies of water, touch trees, and feel that birds are sacred. Ecosystem services and permaculture are components of life that I strive to see more of. I use a guitar for meditation and am always looking for someone to co-create some sounds with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived multiple near death experiences

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach anyone I can about geospatial science. The world is still discovering the realm of geospatial study, and I think it's a very exciting time in mapping. Data analysis is a passion of mine and I hope to convert as many minds as possible to the usage of geospatial tools.

I like to share food, gift food, try food.

I'll make up a song for you if I'm excused from dishes! It's actually a disability accommodation that I need to adhere to, caring for my own dishes alone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, educational resources, wild harvests if possible, maps
