Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've just joined the Couchsurfing network. I'm really interested in learning how we can use the internet as appropriate technology, to build networks of healthy relationships around the world. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've lived with a housemate who hosted a number of Couchsurfers in our home. I loved sharing stories with them and having their presence in our lives for a night.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love traditional music of all kinds, music that remains connected to our ancestors and deep archetypes - birth, death, love, grief, travel, the cycles of the land. Music that carries the old stories.
My Interests
Sustainable land use of all kinds. Learning and design process. Geography and maps. Natural history and ecology. Herbal medicine. Forest gardening and permaculture. Renewing local economies and local communities. Mentoring and storytelling.
