I'm an organic farmer and writer by trade, as well as a hiker, cyclist, cook, and reader.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the experiences that come with traveling, especially conversations and exchanges with people who call a place home. After relying on the kindness of CS hosts, I'm hoping to serve as a host myself, and continue to meet new people!

Interests

All things food - especially farming, baking, and fermentation. Sketching and painting. Cycling, backpacking, climbing (and most other physical activities).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked across the US, meeting many kind and interesting locals along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach cooking/baking/preserving skills as well as vegetable farming/gardening. I'm also quite enthusiastic about wild plants.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love nothing more than a good conversation - especially ones about education, the environment, dreams, and what is "good." I would be more than happy to cook a meal to share if the host is interested and I have access to a kitchen.
