2020 is a year of adventure for me. I have a year off from my job so I am exploring the world. Starting in Australia to see family and friends, then India, then Nepal for some hiking with friends. After that I’m free as a bird and will go where the wind takes me.
I'm six foot one, vegan, lean, not so mean, and green (in ideology, not aesthetically). I am a full-time teacher of Design and Visual Communication (product and architectural design) at a local high-school. In my free time I paint, draw, walk and bash buttons. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. I don't take it all too seriously, because we're just a bunch of atoms working together in harmony. When I grow a mo and my hair out I've been told that I look like Earl Hicky - which I really enjoy because I do believe in Karma. Sometimes it comes right back to you instantaneously, sometimes it takes years, but it will happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted a number of people now and I have surfed twice, once with the boyfriend of a girl who stayed with me!

Interests

Finishing FFX, eating fruits of the forest and one day getting into the ether.

Also love to enlighten myself, which might be by trying the strangest thing on the menu, trying to get lost in cities I don't know, getting into the galleries and reading everything that crosses my path.

Music, Movies, and Books

LOTR, Donnie Darko, King Kong...

No musical bones in my body but I do like listening - Shihad, Neil Young, Dynamo Go, The Decemberists... almost anything.

Catcher in the Rye, LOTR, Dune, Papillon, The Black Stallion, The Hungry Catepillar...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grand Canyon - blew my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher by trade...
I can do a fair bit on the computer with design kinds of things, as well as the more traditional art forms like painting and drawing.

I'd like to know how to sew, make clothes.
