Hi! I'm a writer focusing on the environment and climate change. Here's my professional website: http://devi-lockwood.com/

And links to a few things I have written:

Since the September 2014 People's Climate March in NYC I have been traveling, mostly by bicycle, sometimes by boat, to collect 1,001 stories from people I meet about water and climate change. When people are comfortable with it, I make an audio recording of their story. To date I have made 800+ recordings of these stories in 19 countries.

I love sharing time with people I meet along the way and can bake a mean loaf of bread.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet storytellers, to find points of connection, and to be able to crash on couches or floors along the way! I love meeting new people.
