I am an artist who works with natural materials in various traditional forms of handcraft such as fiber arts, basketry and hide tanning. I have also studied wilderness survival, natural building, herbal medicine and other skills related to self-sufficiency and simple living. I would love to explore these skills and crafts in my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a wonderful way to meet locals and get a true experience of a place. I enjoy connecting with strangers and developing fast friendships.
