CURRENT MISSION

to learn more about social work and education systems, about film, writing, about environmental and social activism. to learn more about plants and animals, to learn more about stars, to learn more about survival at sea. to learn more of everything. to read more, to create more. and to be. more. to think less and be more. to do. to do the little things each day that make you feel good, to do the things you love to do. to keep up the fight, however small.

ABOUT ME

i enjoy finding
discarded hand written notes
unexpected smells wafting on the breeze
people that look like insects
insects that look like people
shadows
someone reading a romantic text message when they think no one is watching
the wind

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting and surfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couchsurfing is a beautiful invention, almost as beautiful as the sandwich toaster...
in hindsight
couchsurfing is perhaps a little like a sandwich toaster...
you put staples and condiments together
in a confined space
for too long sometimes, sometimes not for long enough
sometimes the results are a little odd...
sometimes you come out with something so perfect that it makes you smile and dribble on your chin

Music, Movies, and Books
