ABOUT ME

I am not sure what to say. I'm a gardener/farmer, WWOOFer, permaculturalist, "carpenter", recycler, homebrewer, communitarian, traveller... I had been homesteading on my dad's farm in rural Indiana for the past few years... also involved with a nature sanctuary/alternative community called Lothlorien south of Bloomington Indiana... took a 5 month trip out to the west coast and back, WWOOFing and visting communes and ecovillages. The year before that I took a similar trip with Jason Rinehart through the southeast. I sometimes travel for work too.

Now I'm ready to get out of here again.

PHILOSOPHY

Know something about everything and everything about something.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed all over the US, seeking out communes, ecovillages, camping, couchsurfing, and meeting great people. I have always been open to letting whoever wants to crash when I'm home, but as yet haven't hosted through CS. We are settled in a rural area in Indiana for now and potentially taking surfers. Since we are on a remote farm unlikely to draw many couchsurfers, we are also hosts on WWOOFUSA.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done some couch-surfing in Memphis and Austin, then surfed Florida extensively in Homestead, Miami, Tampa, St. Pete, & Gainesville, and Savannah for St. Patrick's. Gina and I had 3 great couchsurfing experiences on an extended trip to the west coast and back in Bellingham, WA, Portland, OR, and Las Vegas, NV.
