About Me

Hi there!

I'd say I'm generally pretty easygoing and open minded. I like to hang out and be in community, cook a good meal, drink tea, do some yoga, that sort of thing. I am pretty into gardening and meditation. I like artsy things and music and generally have a taste for the weird and unusual. I love to dance. Seeing violence on this planet breaks my heart and I often wonder about my place in this world and how I might benefit humanity.

Hmm. I suppose that might give you a sense of what I'm like.

Oh, I'm really tall, too. That often surprises people lol. I'm 6'5".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning on spending the next few years biking around the country (and possibly the world?) doing work-trade, wwoofing, visiting different communities I find interesting/inspiring, and generally following my calling.

But, biking cross country is kinda hard! I bring stuff to camp if I need to, but really I'd love to meet folks as I go, share stories and maybe a meal or some tea.

Here's hoping we can connect! :)

Interests

I've been doing the 10-Day Vipassana retreats in the tradition of S.N. Goenka. Let's meditate together if you like to sit!

Conscious Dance (for me) = Ecstatic Dance and Contact Improv. I dig the scene.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ott, Shulman, the original Star Wars trilogy, Adventure Time, Joseph Campbell, the Dune series by Frank Herbert, etc, etc. I could go on for a long time ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly I'd say taking care of my grandma as she was passing away. Really difficult experience but beautiful and rewarding in ways that go deeper than words.

I can give you a fire spinning lesson, can help you out in the garden or teach you some cooking basics.
