Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
my year in Madrid is coming to an end and I am setting out to see/meet/experience more of Spain and around before heading home to the woods and mountains of Oregon.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love travel, but not tourism. I am on couchsurfing because I believe the real beauty of moving through the world is in connecting with people, and sharing stories, food, laughter, language and culture. I feel so enriched by the connections I make with people on my journeys, and by the stories others bring to my home.
Interests
I live to dance (blues, salsa, bachata and just free style funky get down). live for music. love backpacking and wilderness adventure, waking up outside with dew on my nose, playing guitar and hearing others play. metaphysically meandering conversation and good books. I love being silly. I love festivals and parties in the woods.
