I'm my own person. I'm an artist and a unique individual, living on a beautiful island off the coast of Washington State in the U.S. I make most of my living being a 'handy person' - I have skills in all aspects of building a house. I don't fit in boxes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really interested in what I've dubbed "cross-pollination". What I mean by that is interacting with a variety of folks to broaden myself as a person and to spark my & their creativity and engagement in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Is building a house amazing? Maybe doing a one woman show/performance of my poetry & short stories? Catering a wedding? Scuba diving? Working in blown glass or bronze? ... I've done all those things & more... but it's just a diverse life... doesn't seem that amazing to me.
