ABOUT ME
Isn't it grand when life is spacious enough to allow for time to play music, forage and grow and ferment all kinds of things, learn earth skills, enjoy a fine cup of tea, and listen to the wind? I am infatuated with all things mycelial, especially the eating part! The Mississippi River has a serious hold on my heart, and I'm looking for more ways to protect all the waters that flow into it.
PHILOSOPHY
It seems like we are at a great juncture in history as the industrial complex's extractive practices can no longer be supported by the earth. As people start to lose heart, the illness of the earth is mirrored in the illness and pain in our bodies and spirits. I aim to help with the healing and reimagining of what our lives could look like. To be a vessel for life and love.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've couch surfed a few times, and have had really great experiences. I've lived in shared living spaces a good deal, from a housing cooperative to living all cramped together in research stations and bamboo houses in the jungle, so it's safe to say I like guests and can be respectful of different preferences and perspectives.
Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Wandering, somewhat lost, down a river in the coastal rainforest of Ecuador, I looked down and had stepped mere inches from the tail of a massive anaconda with a bloated belly full of food.
