I'm currently enjoying rural life in upstate New York, working on building up my acupuncture clinic. I love the open, loving, liberal community here that exists nestled among the more broader conservative community.

When I'm not treating patients or working on developing my business, I spend time outdoors or reading. I have a small group of wonderful friends that I gather with for ceremony, to foster creativity, or to nourish each other by cooking good food together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently not hosting since all I have available is a very thin and lumpy futon in my little one-bedroom. I'm also out of town a lot, and not always planned trips. I look forward to a future change in living circumstances that will allow me to host. I miss traveling (my trips out of town are just to visit my family or partner) and would love to be able to host and hear of your adventures!

I've surfed a handful of times and also participated in couchsurfing events where I live. I've met lifelong friends through couch surfing. It's a wonderful community.
