CURRENT MISSION

Current goals? Move to Denver, CO. Develop urban homestead that is authentic and unabashed. Disseminate localized horticultural information in an opensource zine. Make more music.

ABOUT ME

25, fabulous, engaged to the last great American Farmer, grew up in the dairy-soaked sticks of Western New York, been in the Rust Belt for about 8 years or so. Dirty 330, Youngstown, OH, a little bit of Cleveland, bought and sold a house, grew some serious crops and sold 'em all, played in a few bands, took a few too many semesters to graduate. Deeply interested in the world and people that like to discuss things going on in and around said world. Conversation over coffee, whiskey, vinyl, outdoors, dinner, these things are tough to write without feeling like a cheeseball.

PHILOSOPHY

Oh, be kind.

"We are not raging against the system. A man who's creating doesn't have time to hate." -Albert Ayler (Cleveland, free alto sax legend)

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of the wonderful people I've met are couchsurfers. Haven't been active in the online world but have certainly hosted some wonderful people through my home. Have been blessed with extra rooms and couches to spare and passed on the love to whomever needed it. Interesting, musical people mostly. I'm now on the receiving end of surfhost generosity and couldn't be having a better experience!

Interesses

Currently: the Dust Bowl, urban livestock management, Old-time and Bluegrass music (remember appalachia!), Denver, CO, local food, sustainable food job opportunities, value-added organic product development, yoga, baking, home repair, solving problems, getting more ideas onto more organized paper, developing a blog and zine.
