About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to explore with compassion and gratitude

ABOUT ME

I love learning and exploring. I enjoy riding my bike, listening and playing music, and being outside. I am currently a food systems educator at a beautiful farm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am available to travel now, unfortunately I can't host currently.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had many wonderful experiences couch surfing all over the United States. The organization is a beautiful and powerful way to connect with people and see new places. It has been so refreshing to share space with so many wonderful folks.

In Detroit, I surfed at a collective house for US Social Forum. It was such a welcoming community.

Traveling from Minnesota to California, my friend and I stayed with such sweet people throughout the country. It was so wonderful to be welcomed into their homes and communities.

Interests

I like to travel, meet new people, swim in the ocean, and ride my bike. I am currently reading "Over the Anvil we Strech" by Anis Mojgani, a wonderful poet. I am excited about food justice and health. I am trained as a yoga teacher and conflict mediator. I love hearing stories and exploring.
