CURRENT MISSION

I have recently moved to Albuquerque to commit myself to earning a double bachelor's degree in Linguistics and Art at UNM and have another couple years until completion. I am focused on photography in my art practice for now and I love everything I've learned in linguistics so far and I hope to be involved in language revitalization someday. I am slowly getting to know Albuquerque and all of its weirdness, but I always have an adventure plan brewing in the back of my mind.

ABOUT ME

I been lucky to have made traveling a priority for the last 10 years or so; it is a big part of who I am and I'm very grateful for every place and person I've come across in the world. I have worked on many homesteads and organic farming operations over the years and eating good, spray-free, local food (as much as possible) is one of my top priorities in life. I completed an apprenticeship in earthbuilding with the Cob Cottage Company in 2012 and have helped build some mud houses.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have WWOOFed around the world- some places were WWOOF and couchsurfing hosts and I find it's the most rewarding way to explore new lands. I had an awesome time hosting an Australian couchsurfer, and have had a couple of great hosts. Unfortunately I have been very transient and unable to host very much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been nerding out about phonetics lately and can talk about it a lot among other things like food growing and traveling! I would love to learn about how things are expressed in other languages and practice my Spanish.
