CURRENT MISSION

Traveling cheaply and learning more about communities, not just tourism.

ABOUT ME

I like to read and knit when I can sit still. I am always discovering new artists and poets that enrich my life.
I like to do yoga, run, bike, swim, ski, and generally be outside anywhere, rain or shine.
I am basically a laid-back person and I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their lives.

PHILOSOPHY

To do no harm. To enrich others' lives and have reciprocated respect.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
