CURRENT MISSION
To support groups who want to improve their lives through shared ownership.

ABOUT ME
I believe hospitality is a habit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting with people and seeing a place through locals' eyes.
I don't have to have a touristic experience to be happy. I spent the day on Paris on a bike and never made it to any of the sites.

Interests

I was an English teacher for five years before getting into freelance writing and marketing. Now, I support BIPOC groups forming worker cooperatives, businesses owned and managed by their workers.

In addition to my day job, I am a member of a housing co-op and have organized an investment club to invest in various kinds of co-ops. I love seeing what people can do when they use their full strengths and work together.
