CURRENT MISSION

To live life simply and appreciate. (Also, to be a midwife.)

ABOUT ME

I've been studying midwifery for the last five years both formally and informally. I work two jobs, one at a health food store and the other at a group home for teenage mothers. In my spare time I am the Creative Director and founder of a birth & midwifery magazine called SQUAT Birth Journal. I also play roller derby several nights and week and go by the name 'Crazy Cat Lady' on my team. I am a busy lady, but I try to make time to enjoy life, tend to my garden, pet my cats and read good books.

PHILOSOPHY

Simplify, simplify, simplify.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I don't have a couch. But soon I'll have a tiny house with an extra sleeping loft!

兴趣

Simplifying my life. My partner is building us a tiny house (a small cabin on a trailer frame) so simplifying is not just an interest of mine, but also a necessity. I love to play roller derby and hang out with nice people. I appreciate good music, good food and good folks.
