ABOUT ME

2009 is going to be a major travel year for me. I'm planning a trip to China, Japan, and possibly Nepal for 2 months. I'm really thinking about taking some more time off too for travelling.

So, the basics. I have no TV, no internet, so I am basically cut off from the world (but I kind of like it that way). I usually only get on the computer on Fridays so if you need a last minute couch I may not be the most reliable person.

I am a plant nerd. I love horticulture, gardening, botanical gardens, etc, etc. I enjoy basing travel around seeing plants in nature and in gardens. It would be a dream to work in another country in this industry, so if you know of any opportunities pass them along my way :)

PHILOSOPHY

"I believe in the sand beneath my toes - the beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling - I believe in the faith that grows - and the four right chords can make me cry."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mi casa, su casa.

Basically I ask just two things:
1. Please don't bring home random people you meet at a club. I've invited you to be a guest in my home, not them. It's just common courtesy.
2. No drugs. Nada.

Also, I will only add you as a friend if we meet in person.
