About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To further personal self-exploration through travel and experience of new people and cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast fascinated with the spiritual and physical wonders hidden across the globe. I have just completed a graduate degree in Clinical Social Work. Before I begin my clinical practice I hope to travel through Europe. I am seeking an experience full of ups, downs, and all arounds. Not trying to plan too much and letting the travel and calling come to me. I hope to get out of my comfort area and growth through new life experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I took an oath (to myself) and decided to try anything new for the first time. That and- never turn down an offered beer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love to host and have in the past but not through couch surfing. I have WOOFED many times in the past and feel that couch surfing is an ideal place to meet down to earth folks. I hope to meet like-minded people who also have an interest in hosting and sharing experiences.

Interests

Adventure, mountains, travel, plants, organic farming, community development, all kinds of music, earthships, permaculture, the beats, basketballs, psychedelics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am open to most music currently, I am getting into country and Western music. Bluegrass music still gets me up and moving same goes for classic hip-hop. Can always put on the Grateful Dead and vibe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man 2018
International Rainbow Gathering in Guatemala 2017
Summiting Mt. Hood, OR Mt. Shasta, CA, Mt Adams WA

Teach, Learn, Share

In the near future, I will continue my training in becoming a clinical therapist. Not to say talking to me will solve any of your issues but am a strong listener and can relate well to most individuals. I will begin my practice in Oregon with a focus on psychedelic-assisted therapy.

I am handy and feel as if I can assist in many tactile projects.

I once was an urban farmer in Detroit, MI, and would love to get my hands a little dirty.
