CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to visit Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France, Netherlands, and Denmark. Make it through the trip and come home with enough cashish to live on. Be a better friend, musician, artist, and explorer.

ABOUT ME

I'm Vegan. I love to skateboard, and ride bicycles. I paint and draw occasionally. I'm a self taught musician, so I'm not that great but I get by. I love my band 40 Hundred Thousand Locked Up Guns. I love community building and that's why I moved to Portland, Oregon. I am involved in a record label that is very community oriented, Boy Gorilla Records.

I volunteer at the oldest radical book store in Portland called Laughing Horse books. I am a student of feminism. I am very interested in radical history and dissenting voices.

I am also very interested in becoming more environmentally responsible and more self sufficient. So I'm going to grow hecka fruits and veggies in 2009!!!

Here's my band:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am really excited to share my experience with other people who are open to sharing with travelers from all over. I think this is a really great opportunity for people to get back to a community of trust. Open doors make for a more trusting world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was "homeless" in LA for a while and friends let me crash on their couches for a long time. So I feel very indebted to people who "have" and want to help others who "have not."
