I love music, nature, and people and am so grateful for the places I call home and the people who fill my life with creativity, joy, love, inspiration, and hard work. I have worked in the fields of agritourism, watershed conservation, and education/mentorship in the environment and arts over the years. These days, I am focusing on honing my skills and interests in photojournalism and music history and am in a period of long-term recovery from chronic depression and trauma and seek to continue my creative and learning pursuits for my own healing and to share perspective, experience, and service to our home planet and the wellbeing of my local and our global communities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with people in a place and learning about their scenes is one of the most enriching parts of visiting places. I have received so much hospitality from friends old and new while out traveling places near and far from home and want to extend that same warmth to others who seek to visit my home places and learn about my amazing communities when my home space is available for hosting.
