Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed for a night in Madrid! It was great!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had one official CS experience so far and had a wonderful time. I am grateful to the many friends who've opened their homes to me!

Interests

I love being outside and taking long walks. I read novels pretty often. Growing food and working with plants and soil and compost make me feel alive. I love cooking and sharing meals with people. I've lived and worked on a farm on Orcas Island during the past two years and now I'll be studying midwifery. I could dance forever with the right music and environment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have swum in phosphorescent-lit waters with the Milky Way bright above, climbed Mt. Rainier/Tahoma with my mom, watched the birth of eight piglets, held the hand of an old woman for a long time while walking in the Fes medina, loved friends I've known since I was two years old, seen deep scars heal on my dad, washed blistered feet
