I work in agricultural development in a beautiful, green state.

My home is ~20 minutes from Burlington by car. It is accessible by bus and taxi/Lyft/etc., but if your primary destination is Burlington, our location may not be ideal.

I'm not always able to host at the moment, but I'm happy to show folks around.

Max guests: 2

We cannot accommodate last minute requests except in rare cases. Please do not place a last minute request unless we have met or communicated previously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people, learn about new places from locals, and share my love of Vermont!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't stop telling people that there are areas of arctic tundra on the top of Vermont's highest peaks, Mt. Mansfield and Camel's Hump. There's lichen and stuff! My home state never ceases to amaze.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to teach others about cooking and to talk about food and wine. I also have an exciting mental list of "fun facts about Vermont" that I like to break out at parties (see above for a sample).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dishwashing, cat care, conversation.
