I am a WOE (working on excellence - thanks Drake)

I'm a queerdo, weirdo, softy.
I laugh often and loudly and try not to take myself too seriously.
I'm honing my abilities to really feel consequences - of all kinds.
I try to organize my life around love - not a mushy, romanticized love, but love as integrity, as interdependence, as justice, as action.
I'm allured to the natural world and am inspired by biomimicry - the practice of looking to natural systems for wisdom and guidance.
I'm a dreamer and think imagination is sacred.
Justice and activism are important to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have not used couch surfing extensively, but the few experiences I have had were all really wonderful with people I am grateful to have met.

I'm going to be in Portland Oregon on May 15-21 and would love to meet some cool folks, particularly if they would be interested in going for a hike or checking out some of the beautiful natural area around Portland. Or if someone wanted to show me around and check out a post punk show or queer dance party or something!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to organize a music festival that supported women, queer and trans people to start bands, and I learned to play drums as part of it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... I know a little bit about herbalism? And I can read a basic natal chart? I used to be a much better cook but I feel I am falling out of practice...
