I am a friendly person currently living in Minneapolis, MN. I am fascinated by the natural world (both biology and geology), and I love learning about different ways of living. I have lived in an intentional community for 3 years and would love to share that experience with you, either through stories or in real life if I host you.

I love to meet new people and learn about new ways of living through couchsurfing. When I am traveling, I love to meet new people and sit in public places just watching and learning about the world. Let's talk about art, beautiful things, good food, and our ideal worlds!

You can also find me on Trustroots, which is my preferred platform because it is free :) Please try messaging me there if you are looking for a host and I don't respond here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is all about learning new perspectives and ways of living, and meeting new people is the only way to achieve that! I love hosting people because I get this experience from the comfort of my own home!

nonfiction: Consider the Fork, Against Elections (it is about true democracies, don't worry), Dirt: the ecstatic skin of the earth

Also lately lots of science fiction and afro-futurism.

I don't listen to much music or know much about it, but that means you can control the speaker! Please share your favorite songs and artists with me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I slept in a snow shelter when it was -29 C

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of experience teaching others about gardening, knitting, sewing, cooking, and canning. I'm also happy to help you with your coding and geoscience homework. I also really like doing the dishes :)

Please teach me how to make foods that are important to you, share your travel stories, or give me hiking recommendations!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to hang out, play games, and share meals together, if you are interested, but am also ok not hanging out! I'm clean and tidy :)
