I am a forest defender, permaculturist, and friend of the pollinators...Living a happy and healthy life of Anarchy in the woods of Cascadia. Loving flowers, leaves, moss and trees....birds and bees buzzin' on a breeze...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to share with fellow travelers the backwoods beauty of Cascadia. I love couchsurfing because it allows for a more intimate, close experience of a place through the grace of beautiful, caring people engaging in acts of radical kindness.
