I'm a studying Design and Industry at San Francisco State University (architecture school was too expensive). I play drums, guitar, and bass and have been in bands from time to time. I enjoy philosophical discussions, playing devils advocate, and learning more about ecology and nature. I also sculpt with ceramics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world. And I have no money.

More than that, I don't find it very rewarding to see places while walking in the footsteps of tourists. I want to be close to the people who live there day to day and get their perspective.

I have a passion for sustainable agriculture, hiking, art, and I love to cook. I try to find places to volunteer in accordance with these things in exchange for food and board. But that doesn't always work.

Nonetheless, I hope to use couchsurfing to make new friends, exchange ideas, and share good company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I caught a pregnant fish who then gave birth to around 30 live baby Perch so i helped them get to the water and saved them all.

Technically I caused the crisis but I still feel proud of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to share my knowledge of agriculture. Help with any english (written/spoken), and make fresh pizza and/or cookies.
