One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lots of little things...

Most recently 3 weeks camping and rafting on the Colorado Rive through the Grand Canyon.

Being a witness to the birth of my brother Michael at 8 y.o. I've never forgotten that moment!

Witnessing the stars in the Sahara dancing and bolting across the sky as I snuggled into the depths of the sun warmed sand.

Uncontrollable laughter on carnival rides with kiddos.

Adventures lit by a full moon.

The euphoria of letting the waves of the sea beat you around a bit.

Rocking babies to sleep. Then, getting to appreciate the beautiful adults they become.

Climbing mountains and realizing how tiny we are. It's a good perspective.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh, where to even begin! I enjoy learning trades of labor because you can see the product of your efforts and feel it in your body as well- such as blazing a trail! Practicing kindness and healing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positivity. Openness to learn from you. Sharing our life experiences. I try to tread gently on the earth, which includes your home! I've watched and cleaned many houses over the years so you can rest assured I'll at least leave your home the way I found it. I love animals so I would be stoked to share a space with yours! I'm not sure if that would mean your barn…but I'm not totally against the idea!

I was adopted into a home much different than the one I grew up. I've traveled in luxury and lived in what some might consider a slum. I am a chameleon of my surrounds and have a broad spectrum of understanding for the different ways we are capable of living.
