CURRENT MISSION

I am trying to find a place to stay in Portland for a couple days while I get my Wilderness First Responder Certification!

ABOUT ME

Woo..well this is awkward! I am not a fan of filling in "about me" sections. I don't know how to talk about myself casually....

PHILOSOPHY

Always bring up the things we are told never to talk about "around the dinner table" or when meeting people : politics, religion, money, SES (socio economic status), and sex :)

Philosophy: don't pull your fellow crabs down to try to get yourself out of the boiling pot of water

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

ooo...not sure what this question is...but I like this idea.

I take this as how I participate in my community....

Well I am taking a little sabbatical from activism to re-focus my energy on taking care of my health. I was very involved at the UCSD Food Co-op and the UCSD Public Education coalition and the beginnings of the California State-wide Student Union.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None!

Well...at least not through this site!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I will have to come back to this.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Hmmm...well I would like to learn how to play more instruments (top of my list is the cello), I would like to learn more about political theory and history in general (I know that is extremely vague and covers a mass amount of information), I would like to know more about DIY sustainable urban living, intentional communities, and anything else that you have been exposed to or have knowledge of that I can learn from!
