ABOUT ME

Right now I'm travelling in Mexico. I biked to Monterrey from Austin, TX, with Bikes Across Borders. it was my first bike tour and it was awesome!

home is on a homestead in North Carolina. We do organic gardening using permaculture practices, wild food foraging, wildcrafting, and cultivating medicinal plants.

I like being silly and laughing but I'm shy around new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to keep friends and pretty nature around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted lots of couchsurfers when I lived in Chicago, not so much anymore, because I live in rural North Carolina.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had only good experiences through couchsurfing! Everyone i have hosted has been fun and kind, and I have had none but generous, kind, and fun hosts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just biked 600 miles from Austin to Mexico with Bikes Across Borders! (Bicis atraves de las fronteras)

I hiked a glacier in Alaska.

I have traveled to Poland a lot. The thing that stands out most in my memory from my last are the many wild poppies growing alongside the road and railroad tracks.

Last spring I built the cabin that I live in.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to knit and crochet and I'm a patient teacher. i like sharing experiences about DIY homesteading.
