Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interested in hosting people to this area that I love so much! May be taking a few little trips here and there that may hope to be hosted.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Kenya on two separate occassions and now have my own passion for the empowerment of the women and children that I have met there. Currently working on assisting a group of 37 to set up an organic farm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know ASL (American Sign Language), farming (little bit) knowledge, art and crafting skills, working with children as a profession, husband is horticulture expert, I know a lot about the local culture and community - hidden gems.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm creative and love to share my love for making art and music. I know conversational sign language and I'd like to think I'm a pretty good cook :) I make some mean vegan truffles!
