I'm a face painting, balloon twisting single mother on a mission to create a positive difference in the world (and to travel the world!). I want my son to be free to follow his dreams without the restrictions of conventional schooling and see some of the worlds' problems first hand.

My main focus is nonviolence and anthropology. I spend a lot of my free time drinking coffee, reading text books and taking online courses. Otherwise I'm frolicking in a forest or planning the next leg of our journey.

My son's 8. He's super into science and music. He loves exploring in nature, explaining how things work and asking questions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet beautiful people.
To learn about other cultures.
To make a positive difference in the lives of others.
