About Me

Air nomads!!

Will I ever make a musical film about Couchsurfing?
I am an energetic, steam roller-coaster with a heart of steel and a DouglasAdamsian dolphin brain.
I have large, wild dreams for films/experiences(mostly optimistic) to exist in and have people connect with.

Presently, my goal is Crunchytown and being an International Comedic Music Street Performer. Simplest recipe is 5 cups of Weird Al Yankovic, 10 kg of PSY in a bowl. Blend together frisky. Coat with Pink Martini Sauce that is oh so delicious. Make lots of friends and spread the love. Served with a side of Ylvis.

(Another dream for later....)[One of my dreams is to have an international traveling film company that makes films in different countries.]
I love musicals, but my musical knowledge is vast. Nearly each month/week, I flow between Western Australian ADHD remixes of Disney movies to Gilberto & Getz bossa nova pancakes to Danny Elfman scores to Venetian PUNK EDM(now based in L.A.) to Swiss Alphorns to Australian Electric Settings.
I know a lot about cinema.
I love meeting people from different cities, countries, and cultures because it gives me a vast psychological palette.
Words are fascinating!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To form an international community and network of artists/businesspeople/engineers/empaths/strategists/and more-to help save the planet from climate change.
Why not?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Continued to live despite multiple setbacks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we can all teach, learn, and share anything. The internet allows this.
Forget what you think you know, and know it!

Teach me what you know and I'll do the same!

-I can teach you to experience cinema in a totally different way
-I can teach you how to dance, sing, make movies, talk, articulate your mind, love yourself, fight back against negative thoughts

I can share amazing music, lights, and entertainment experiences.

-Im a beginner in shibari practices.
