CURRENT MISSION

one day at a time...

ABOUT ME

sheesh. uh....I'm kind of weird and kind of a silly melancholy mix and most of the time i feel like a little kid inside. i love to eat and cook and read and paint and talk about the world in all it's gory detail. i often get overwhelmed by all the things i want to do with this life. i want to be surrounded by warmth and new people and music and art projects all the time! currently I'm on a mission to learn all i can about sustainable living, primitivism, and DIY everything. traveling the world and learning from other people has been the best thing in my life. i hope one day to have a space where i can give back to all the people that have enriched my life.

PHILOSOPHY

that the current capitalist imperialist system of the world is killing the planet and destroying the health and happiness of all living breathing beings. so, uh, i kind of want to change that and meet other people that feel the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

after traveling for most of 2008 and then spending one last year in Denver, and one year working way too much in an office in Eugene, Oregon, and failing miserably at becoming a Portlander, I am now back in Colorado where the sun shines and the jobs are a bit more plentiful. not quite set up to have people stay with me at my house, but i would love to meet people for a drink or a coffee and chat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

just a handful of people, but this has been one of the best experiences i've ever had and i've definitely made some lifelong friends which is about as priceless as you can get. i am amazed and humbled by people opening up their homes and lives and hearts to you- people you've never even met before- this is truly tangible beauty and revolution in action.

Music, Movies, and Books

this is much too extensive a list to type out here. i have more music than i can keep track of and books are my life obsession. you'll have to talk to me to learn more. i guarantee some book that i've read will come up within any face to face conversation we have.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the ONE thing?? ONE thing???
i saw some green buds on some fig trees become baby fig leaves and then turn into little fresh figs. what could be more amazing then witnessing that?

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach people to knit and cook and perhaps see the world more critically. anything i know i'm willing to share. and there's so much that i want to learn and i'm so very excited when i meet people that can help me with this. i want to dance more and make music more and find a group of people to start a theater group with.
