I live and grew up in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, currently in Floyd Co. My husband and I have lived the last almost ten years "off grid" in several small (from 192 square feet to 450 square feet) houses with solar electric systems and an outhouse. I love living small, although I do miss having a washing machine.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Couch surfing aligns well with many of my values - community, trust, living lightly on the earth, thrift and service to others.

I'm not in a space where I'm able to travel much at the moment, as a parent of a small child, but I look forward to traveling again someday soon and possibly assisting others in their travels if my location and living circumstances make it feasible.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

My dad always said he wanted my siblings and me to learn how to be "easy guests". I like to think he succeeded. I can share with you the peace of mind that I will treat you and your home with respect.
