I am the farm manager at a non-profit, organic vegetable farm in the Northside of Richmond.

I have enjoyed being hosted by many different Couchsurfers around the world and I am looking forward to giving back to the community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent five days hiking in the Himalayas and ran into some sort of wild big cat at night

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to learn about anything that you'd like to teach. I enjoy participating in Couchsurfing because of the opportunity it provides to learn about other people, places, and cultures. Whatever your passions are, I'd like to hear about them.
I know quite a bit about organic farming/gardening and would love to share that knowledge with you.
If you're looking to travel to Madagascar I can teach you some Malagasy :)

I'm sure there's more that I can share but nothing else is coming to mind right now.
