PHILOSOPHY

That everything has its compliment;good and bad. "heaven is just heaven but hell is what you make it" -Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was hoping to use it for finding folks to stay with while traveling but I have ended up with so much more. For five I had a house and hosted tons of people. I’m the person that would always let a touring band stay on a last minute day of request. I’ve met so many wonderful people from all over. With hearts filled with love and a spirit of wonder. What you get to learning hosting or staying with surfers is an experience with being a part of. Luckily I have not had any bad or awkward times with couch surfing.

Interests

Keeping up with life 🤪. I had two ear major ear surgeries in 2024 which shifted my focus on interest and my able to do physical activities.

Things I plan to do this year 2025
-hike as much as possible
-a few road trips
-camping
-visit friends in nyc
-create new video and physical art (screen printed,painted, mixed and more)
-volunteer with homeless outreach

Setting goals for the art I'm starting to work on again.

Finding things I didn't know about in my city.

Music, Movies, and Books

the good stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up turning a wrench on bicycles. I’ve worked in a few bike shop and ran one as a manager. It was not the childhood dream I dreamt of. I didn’t let that stop my love for fixing bikes! I started volunteering with different bike coops throughout the years. It brings me so much joy to lend a hand and help someone stay riding.

Art and being a maker(preferred title) has been a long and mysterious road. Without staying active creating something or anything I start to feel like I’m losing a bit of myself. This is why I love spoon carving, I have enough tools and a good stump to work off to keep me going.

I share an art studio and gallery with a good friend of mine. She’s/us are working to build the studio into a print coop. Rightfully named (A Place) A.P. to Print. Hosting demos and sharing our knowledge and equipment to help others achieve what they might in print making! Hoping someday to make it my full time thing. The gallery is rented out by the week for a low cost to help artists and we don’t ask for any commission from sales. We also host interesting events to engage with the community.

If you are passing through Louisville please ask anything and I’ll be more than happy to help!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Currently can’t host. Maybe at some point this year 2025. I live with my partner and her dog barks with anxiety. Her dog is a sweet adopted dog but has some nervous tendencies.
