Hello Beautiful People,
I am a world traveler setting my most important and prioritized goal as exploring intentional communities around the world so that I can one day be a contributor of an already existing one or be a leading facilitator in creating one. i believe that community living paves a path through the crises that we live in today, and the crises that will arise in the future by creating systems that challenge the power-over culture and hopefully escape them completely. In order for me to this, I work seasonally and am working on landing remote positions as well. My professional passions are to be working in admin, donor outreach and project development for nonprofits that focus on the intersectionality of social and environmental justice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing first and foremost because I like to explore the world but I have to do so while making a modest income. By modest I mean poverty level. Often times when people express jealousy or envy of my travels, they say that they cant travel because they don't have the money. I like to tell these people that I haven't made more than $12,000 annually in probably almost a decade. It's all about evaluating your comfort levels and your priorities. I believe in sharing to my core. Sharing experiences, conversations, resources and knowledge. I also believe in letting go of the things consumerism, scarcity and fears of a lack of security tell us we need. Embracing uncertainty is a spiritual practice for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of DJ's and bands. Anything from funk, to big band, to world music.
For books, right now Im reading Braiding Sweetgrass, The Wild Edge of Sorrow, Into the Wild (again and again), Joanna Macy's Coming Back to Life and I've been reading a lot of Robert Johnson lately with his Jungian topics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I founded and operated a nonprofit permaculture farm in order to create greater access to organic vegetables in neighborhoods experiencing food apartheid in Baltimore, MD.
