CURRENT MISSION

Sharing our home and farm with others and learning from others

ABOUT ME

Dave and I are farmers in upstate New York. It is a small organic farm that we grow most all our produce for the year. We built our own home using as many sustainable and local materials as possible to keep it as environmentally friendly as possible. We love to hike and live five minutes from the Shawangunks MTs. famous for climbers. It is a beautiful place with plenty of trails. Dave loves to golf and knows all the courses around.
We love to relax with good friends and eat healthy delicious food. We enjoy theater and music and reading. I am a certified thai yoga bodywork practitioner and I am always happy to give a massage to people coming for a visit. I also teach yoga and enjoy relaxing on our porch with a good book. We are pretty laid back and self sustainable in most situations.

PHILOSOPHY

Wake up and SMILE....choose to be happy, choose to be healthy, choose to love more and judge less

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy having people come to stay on the farm when they are traveling. People that need a longer stay can come especially if they are interested in helping with the farm work. A great learning experience.
I appreciate having the reciprocal ability to stay with someone when I am traveling and enjoy getting to know new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My son hosted two people at our farm last summer. My first experience will be next week.

Musica, film e libri

I loved the book Cutting for Stone. I am in a book group so we are always looking for a great book that gets a good discussion going.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Early in the morning when I go out to weed and hear only the sounds of the insects and nature waking up....see the tiny frogs hopping around from the pond and watching the bees and butterflies starting to move. I could go on and on..

When I pick up just the right thing to read at the time I need to learn it....or when I see something or hear from someone at a moment when I need it most.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I actually began and directed a Community Exchange of 500 members sharing services for 8 years. I love to share healthy cooking tips, exercise information, relaxation and stress relief, farming skills, how to live simply,
