About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Farm across 'Merica! and meet all you wonderful travelers out there.. and maybe wander a few new countries and practice more permaculture along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm new to the Bay Area and after completing an internship in December I'm about to hit the road to go farming and travel around CA. I'm an optimist and like to make the most of every situation. I love spending my free time digging in soil, biking, cooking or learning a new skill or craft. I'm trying to be a blogger but I'm far from a natural. I love being inspired by others and meeting new people which fuels my desire to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in people and am inspired by this network because it shows how many others believe in people too. I hope to couch surf in between WWOOFing this January and beyond, and eventually host people once I figure out my life / get settled with some couch spaces.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a fabulous experience couchsurfing in Boston and have done some couchsurfing with people I met traveling through Asia who gave me a place to crash and showed me around in Montreal -- Incredible experiences. I've also met up with a few CSers in Raleigh for coffee and a local tour.
