ABOUT ME

I'm friendly and down to earth, I love nature, dancing, friendly playful shenanigans, and open-minded discussion. While I'm not afraid to experience life's sorrows and struggles, I also greatly appreciate life's pleasures, especially friendship, adventures large and small, swimming in lakes or non-freezing oceans, live acoustic music, sustainable farming with friends, fresh healthy food, occasional fits of silliness, and mellow time on my own.
At some point, perhaps fall 2016, I hope to open my place up to host guests from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've snorkeled amongst the islands off the north coast of Palawan, Philippines, and kayaked the Lofoten Islands in the Arctic Circle, Norway - sleeping in the old row houses and waking early to paddle the glassy waters was awesome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A warm heart and curious mind, life experience as an educator/restoration ecologist and student of non-violent communication and co-counseling, a helping hand in the garden or about the house, laughter, thoughtful discussion, perhaps a song, and much appreciation!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Scotland, Sweden
