CURRENT MISSION

To grow food and eat it

ABOUT ME

Two months ago I moved from the booming economy in Michigan to work on an organic farm here in California. I spend my days getting really dirty taking care of plants and chickens and one big, distempered, pig.

I am enjoying the atmosphere and beautiful scenery of the California dream, which is more real than I expected. I joined couchsurfing in hopes that it would enable me to travel the area on an interns income, which is of course, non-existent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I promise to fold up the blankets in the morning, I hope that people will let me sleep on their couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Waiting to have one. But I'm sure it will be good.

Interests

Papermaking, drawing silly cartoons, making tea out of strange things I find in the garden, graphic design, drafting ideas for books I'll probably never write.
