About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore. Be Present.

ABOUT ME
I quit my corporate job back in March and decided to do a little soul searching. So here I am traveling around from coast to coast. Next stop Oregon for a few months and then Hawaii for a few more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed all around. Never a dull moment.

Last year I lived in a small co-op named Juniper House Cooperative where we hosted dozens of couchsurfers. Each and everyone of our coushsurfers enriched our community space, and we enjoyed being one of their stops to their "final" destination.

Interests

Questioning social structures is something that has been very important to me. I love a good conversation about compassion, gender, social class, food systems, polyamory, etc. Building meaningful human connections is what I'm all about :)

Other things that I am fond of include: cycling, backpacking, building things (previous projects: yurt, chicken coop, tables, rock climbing walls), traveling, going to shows, finding delicious brews and good eats.
