About Me

About me, 24 years old from Hawaii. Been in Oregon for the past 3 years and working on different farms for the past 2 1/2 years. I enjoy Permaculture and the idea of homesteading and other new agey jazz. This year I'm going to be working in the Methow Valley in eastern Washington. It's going to be hot!
I'd like to see more of Washington's islands before i head that way at the end of this week/early next week. I was in Seattle around this time last year and had a brief chance to visit the islands and i loved it! Right now I'm outside of Portland Oregon at a ceramics studio, after having spent 2 months at an urban farm in Portland. Spring is in full motion and I'm ready roll with it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to see new things and meet new people of different cultures and regions! I couchsurf occasionally, but when I do it's always somewhere new and foreign to me. Having a locals perspective when you're out of your comfortable elements is a different experience than being on your own! I think it's a great tool and concept in the 21st century and a great medium to knit the world closer together in lieu of having to outsource lodging to a business. Share the cultures and people

Interests

Permaculture, and utopian ideas. I do my best to be the change I'd like to see in the world. I like hip-hop and rap for the lyricism, and poetry for its base form. I've been banging on the drums a lot lately and i dream about getting better and more transcendent at it. This year I'd like to refine one of my art forms! Poetry, drums, maybe another instrument. Ive been watching Tedx lately and have been inspired by the beatboxers. I can get sucked into a good conversation on conspiracies, dreams, metaphysics and mysticism, global happenings and politics.

Riddle
"I am made by Humans
Humans do not need me
Humans do not know when they are using me (for the purpose of which I was created)

Right now reading The Way of the Shaman... i dont carry much books on me. Maybe its time to invest in an e-reader??

Movies, City of God. Masterfully done... like Breaking Bad!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This ought to be One Amazing Thing I Plan on Doing. I've done me, all the way from Oahu, some of the states, to Oregon. It's in the progress and I've promising stuff for me this year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up in Hawaii.
I've worked with animals, on the farm and in the garden
I would like to experience your style of cooking
Maybe we can run some poetry exercises
I have a whip I'm still learning how to use

This year I'm going to take on my own trials of no-till farming with living mulches and figure out how to harvest passive solar energy, seeing as I'm going to be in sunny Eastern Washington this season.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An experience for a day or two
You get to learn me, and I get to know you
A new little island in the Pacific Northwest
We'll see if we can find that creators creative niche
I'll sing to myself when nobody can hear it
And i hope that you dance with the impromptu instrument
Bonfire! On an island so that we can relive
The days before time with the spirits inherent
