I’m traveling around SE Asia exchanging information about food, culture, farm/gardening practices, and holistic health with other folks connected to their community and it’s food system. Before getting into farming I was a health teacher and community organizer in the United States as well as in rural Fiji. I hope to link my passions for holistic health, connecting with people, and environmental stewardship while I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting with locals and experiencing a place as the people who live there do. I believe couch surfing is an excellent way to build relationships with people worldwide.
