About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make meaningful contributions to the lives of people, plants and other life forms; to explore ways to live more harmoniously within my social and natural environment; and to share my knowledge and experiences with others.

ABOUT ME

I'm connecting with as many life-giving moments as possible as I roll around this planet. I hope to settle on a farm and share my knowledge and experiences with others.

My current dream job: to work on an educational farm, staffed by high-school-aged kids that run a farm stand, and giving produce to local food banks.

I AM NOT MY PROFILE.

PHILOSOPHY

Positive mental energy (love) keeps me alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One experience in Bangor, ME, Jan. 2010. A wonderful first home-stay, that helped my boyfriend and me get to Acadia National Park for a 6 am sunrise without sleeping in the car!
Two nights in VT (White River) set us up for some hiking and a show (Carolina Chocolate Drops), lots of good conversation.
