COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of my favorite visits was to my friends Ian and Kathryn, who created a beautiful nook for sleeping draped with gauzy fabrics in their living room corner. They had every fruit tree imaginable in their back yard, and cats too! As if it wasn't enough just getting to hang out with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped onto a bus in motion and forced the door open. The guy said, "okay, we weren't going to let anyone on since we're completely full, but you've earned it." That's as close as I've gotten to feeling like the bionic woman...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn: everything!
I'd be happy to teach: drawing, wildflower identification, Spanish, English, non-violent communication.
