About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is successfully leading my camp at burning man in 2025 :)

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Tom and I have not used this app in a long time. 2013 and 2014 were the years that I stayed on a lot of couches all over the US.

Lived in San Diego for a while and hosted a few times there. Right now I am renting a place in Las Vegas for a while. About 15 min away from the strip and about 10 min from airport.

I work remotely, and travel a lot.

I have a master in psychology, love riding my motorcycle, love dancing, going out with old/new friends and I have a passion for trying out new (weird) things.
