CURRENT MISSION

I am currently working on a radio documentary series called Upstream: Economics for Transition. It's about lots of things, including Couchsurfing! Our aim is to tell the stories of the people and places that are using economics to transition to a better world.

ABOUT ME

I spend most of my immersed in the world of music and all things audio. I have many different audio projects going on all the time: my own, with others, and as an engineer/producer for artists all over the world, including one I met here on Couchsurfing. When I don't have a pair of headphones on, you can find me hiking and camping around the Bay Area, writing polemical essays on the growth-industrial society, reading, researching, studying, drinking coffee, and sometimes teaching.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

To meet people, host people, and contribute to the *real* sharing economy. I've made friends through Couchsurfing who I am still in contact with and see all over the world, from the UK to Australia.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões
