I live in Northampton, MA. I love to travel and meet new people! My biggest passions include backpacking, biking, and rock climbing.

Recently I have been learning about using permaculture gardening to enhance our social and ecological world. I'm really interested in learning more about how people interact with their communities, environment, and food systems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people who enjoy sharing space and encouraging learning through travel. Couchsurfing allows me to make real connections with folks, which is so meaningful to me. Couchsurfing also makes travelling more affordable for me, which has opened new opportunities to me. I like to host couchsurfers so that I can give back to our global community and make travelling more accessible.

Interests

I have a lot of interests, but I would say that I spend much of my time enjoying the outdoors through biking, hiking, or climbing. When I can, I love to try new art forms and dabble in painting or drawing. I also support social liberation movements and am currently working at an affordable housing organization.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hikes 25 miles in one day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach folks how to bake bread, top-roping, and to grow food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy connecting with my hosts if our timelines match up and in the past I have made a meal for us to share. It’s fun to cook and chat and learn something from one another.

I also know that sometimes hosts are busy and I am okay with being more independent when schedules don’t match up.
