CURRENT MISSION Learn. And specifically, understand rural areas and agriculture/health issues worldwide ABOUT ME I live on a farm in Northeast Iowa where we rotationally graze cattle, sheep, and goats, and sell certified organic grassfed meat. I'm really interested in local food systems and preventative medicine/health. I enjoy learning about new cultures and music, and I think traveling is the best education. I also like to dance, read, hike, kayak, and learn new skills. I'm a good cook- fig encrusted rack of lamb, anyone? People are fascinating PHILOSOPHY Be careful lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow- Aesop I guess I would say I strive to grasp the substance of the people and the world around me.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've only just begun. I hope to participate by staying with new people this year as I travel for an internship in India and for study abroad in Mongolia. However, I'd also like to host people on my couch in Grinnell when I'm there for the semester. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Couch surfing in New Delhi was a blast!Couchsurfers in Mongolia were great company, and a great respite!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I learned to plow a field with two Zebu steers

My Interests
Agriculture, the EnVIRONMent, learning languages, music, culture, nevermind... I can't think of anything that I'm not interested in- maybe just computer science or plastic surgery.
