About Me

Peace Corps Volunteer, living in the quiet countryside in Central Mexico where I work with communities on conservation of soil and water and forest health.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Will be traveling around Mexico and possibly other countries in the region over the next two years. I had great experiences Couchsurfing in Athens, Greece and had friends host when I lived in Vermont. All a positive experience.
