I live in Costa Rica in a small area close to the primary rain-forest that is the 2nd most bio-diverse place on earth. I have lots of skills and knowledge about off-grid living and how to become sustainable. I also have my PDC(Permaculture Design Certificate) and can also teach.

I am very easy going and quiet most of the time. I understand community living and know how to contribute to make things go easy. I love traveling, reading, walking around, outdoors, and just relaxing. I have a passion about talking about trash and picking up trash as I walk around in my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing for traveling to new areas and allowing people to stay on the farm i live at while I'm away in my house. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people and to see new areas. While i'm away there are 4 other members on the farm that can help you with things and also tons of food growing on the farm.
