Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I connect ideas, things, communities, and people too! I love to share food, energy and laughter. I am curious and accepting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I usually travel in my '87 Syncro Vanagon, and so tend to 'driveway surf'...I love to share food, heart, depth, energy with people engaged on their path.

Interests

I'm passionate about fermentation, creatures, consciousness, transformation, community, awareness, and kindness. I'm currently learning about growing food, permaculture and foraging and seeking to find a way to be in this world without enslavement, shopping in strip malls, living in isolation and using excessive chemicals.

I recently completed an MA in Economics for Transition at Schumacher College in the UK (underwritten by the University of Plymouth Business School). My thesis was titled: What is the role of our current economic system in creating and perpetuating stress and trauma states, and what can we do about it individually, in relationship, and in community?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is life....

Pay it forward

Books inspire, feed, transform and transport me.
Charles Eisensteins: The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible and Sacred Economics are current favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dolphin swimming, wave tumbling, white water river boarding,

Teach, Learn, Share

"How things work", aquatic play, breathwork, bodywork (aquatic eg. Watsu, Water Dance, Healing Dance, cranio-sacral, lymphatic massage, shiatsu, therapeutic), interpersonal dynamics, fermenting, awareness, wild foods, riverboarding, cooking and un-cooking (aka raw or live food)

There is so much still to learn....sailing is high on the list, and foraging, gardening, cooking, living.

I love sharing and mirroring.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm great in the kitchen, and love cooking, 'krauting, washing dishes.

I'm good with headaches, sore muscles, embodied TLC.

I love plants, and sharing the wonders of wild foods on walks or in gardens.

I'm strong and a great gardening resource.

How can I be of service?
