About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy every moment

ABOUT ME

I was born in Vermont and have lived here most of my life. My father managed a children's circus and my childhood was full of tall tales and clown noses. I have a deep love of nature and a BA in Environmental Studies. I co-taught a college course on Ecopsychology for my thesis. Since college I have purchased and lived in a yurt, driven x-country in 2003 in a van powered by waste veggie oil, and am most recently living in Burlington doing advocacy work and getting ready to begin acupuncture school in Gainesville, FL.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I make our guests feel at home and do my best to show them a good time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My boyfriend has had his CS2 profile up for a while and we have hosted three surfers. Our couch isn't always open because we live with two roommates and seem to have friends visiting every weekend.

Interests

I love writing, reading, painting, knitting, growing food, dancing, spending time with family and friends, babies and hot springs.
