Open hearted. I value compassion above all. Fond of goofy people and dark tales. I adapt easily. I am fiercely independent, but I adore playful affection. I am seeking my next adventure, still seeking, always seeking...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's really just the bee's knees. Inviting a stranger into your home, expecting nothing but basic respect in return (though of course you'd hope for a bit more fun). It brings out the best in me and I love the perspective gained from surfing. Now it's my turn to open my home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the Sunrise at the Mayan ruins of Tikal, as a sea of howler monkeys greet the dawn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help teach English and share my knowledge of wild medicinal plants and preservation/fermentation of various foods (cashew cheese, raw yogurt, sauerkraut).
I am good with kids, at lending an ear and helping analyze thoughts and situations, or making others feel heard and loved.
