我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and travel. I like to see other points of view and ways of living.

I’ve lived harmoniously with roommates in a few shared housing arrangements for 8 years.

In 2021 I explored and adventured, deciding how to design my life... I got lonely, bored, and restless during Covid ...so I practiced being a digital nomad... reconnected with friends around the Midwest, and I was excited to be abroad as a tourist again.

I’m uncomplicated, clean, respectful, don’t need too much attention, and I’m an early bird.

兴趣

I love being outside and biking, gardening, walking, etc. Good fresh food gives me delight throughout the seasons -think of just-picked asparagus, warm tomatoes off the vine, etc! I am a resourceful cook, I am very organized, and I am reflective. I am interested in environmental issues, having grown up near the Mississippi River and studied environmental policy. I work in public relations and advocacy- my job is part time, remote, project based, for a variety of great clients and topics. I volunteer on a climate justice nonprofit’s board and with other community involvements. I’ve lived and worked on organic farms - growing food is challenging and rewarding. A good book is a quality way to spend an afternoon, but time with friends and family is also important.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went on a rock climbing trip and got to rappel down a 200ft rock face, submerge in Lake Superior's chilly waters, then climb back up.

教，学，和分享

Very interested in community-supported agriculture and regenerative agriculture, gardening, local food systems. 🥕 I have worked on farms, at co-ops, food hubs, restaurants, breweries, Wwoofed, community sustainability projects.

I’m a ‘community connector’ type of person. I’m ready to help with projects or chores around the house. Will listen thoughtfully to your perspective.
