Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Using the internet to build community by opening my doors to couch surfers. I've had a lot of strangers take me in in Latin America in my pre-internet travels. Now I can reciprocate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed a few times but each was incredible and Mexico was filled with serendipity! I've enjoyed hosting about a dozen surfers and most have been very positive experiences!

Interests

birding, foraging for mushrooms and wild edibles, gardening, cooking with others, unlocking and understanding emotions, conservation, social and environmental justice

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've held birds in my hand that were extracted from mistnets in El Salvador and Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

traveling birders unite.....organized trips are so spendy! Anything I can do to foster budget birding....a place to sleep, a ride, pointing you to local resources, etc
