~Catherine Rose, 24 years old
I practice a non- harming, mindful philosophy. I have a positive outlook on life and want to connect and help as many beings as I can. I consume a plant- based diet out of compassion for the land and our animal family. I'm an experienced cook and always like sharing good food. My dream is to establish a self sufficient homestead and learning centre based on permaculture principles to serve the land and our community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

~To find places to stay for short periods of time whilst meeting like-minded people.
~I believe society would work better with more sharing!

Interests

~Currently personally directing study of agroforestry, forest gardening, and perennial agriculture. I am sure that perennial agriculture will play a key role in regenerating landscapes, mitigating climate change, restoring wildlife habitat, building soil fertility and the community's reclamation of food production.

~Future dream is to etablish an organic farm and food forest of my own that are based on permaculture principles.
