CURRENT MISSION

Be kind, record music, reduce my impact both environmentally and emotionally on the world around me, watch cartoons.

ABOUT ME

I'm into empathy, social justice, recording sounds/music, and you know, being a pretty decent human being when possible. I grew up in Washington State, and then I lived in New Orleans, and kind of Alaska. I traveled for a while and then got tired, so I moved to Portland!

PHILOSOPHY

You know, yogi hippie nonsense about the literal interconnectivity of all beings. SO LAME.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By falling asleep on the whatever designated space my kind hosts might allow! I have had only positive experiences hosting, but presently, I am unable to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Probably evenly split between hosting and being hosted. Once, my host took me for a helicopter ride. I would prefer that all my hosts be able to take me for a helicopter ride.

Interests

Playing the cello, robots, the natural world, spiritual inquiry, etc etc etc.

• running
• gardening
• traveling
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music with strings or guitars or Kotos or an accordion, or weird animal sounds, maybe, or like, a recording of a person sleeping. Maybe the song is quite short and very punchy, or maybe it sort of unfolds for like 11 minutes, I guess it doesn't really matter. Mainstream country music is challenging, but for some reason I still torment myself and listen to it like twice a year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate a whole bag of chips. (It was really big)

Teach, Learn, Share

Gardening, environmentalism without being a preachy insufferable jerk, music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, moderate cooking skillz, humorousness, and the meaning of life.
