I am in my late 20s, I live on 17 acres of beautiful Illinois woodland with my best friend. I work as a farmer and general handyperson. I am very positive, compassionate, and optimistic. When I travel, it is usually to go to two Buddhist retreat centers which are dear to my heart. I usually like to camp, but when it's cold I'd be a fool to pass up a good couch!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's getting cold and I don't want to camp!

I keep it pretty simple! I live in a house I built, work the land in a restorative way, and nourish myself with folk music and Buddhadharma
