Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had fun hosting in Massachusetts, and now I'm traveling and hope to experience the other side of couchsurfing- meeting incredible folks in their homes!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One fond memory was discussing the radicalism of Jesus and how it relates to meditation practices and Buddhism. We made pizzas and talked into the evening, and I picked up a couple great book titles to read, (and was given a book- thanks Richard!) I loved the simplicity of the interaction, though it was very deep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm lucky to have grown up on a small farm in Northern Michigan, so I've spent a little time growing and selling high-vibe produce, which is awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a great cook, and enjoy trying new vegetarian dishes. I'm interested in learning more about food preservation and local eating pleasures.

I'm a facilitator of self-transformation practices and ancestral healing. My passions are for sharing what I've experienced and learning more from others in this realm.

The same goes for solidarity economy systems- bartering, alternative currencies, transition movements- these are all things I know a bit about but what to learn further.
