I am a musician, preschool teacher, and buddhist practitioner and I want to be barefoot in the woods as much as humanly possible. I am passionate about exploring all things spiritual/philosophical, helping cultivate different forms of community, and I am often very expressive with singing, dancing, laughing or with my exuberant facial expressions.

My music is the best way to learn about me because it synthesizes all of my thoughts, intentions and spiritual musings: www.soundcloud.com/mar-malade-melodies

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am leaving the city of Boston behind in order to be immersed in nature more intimately and to find some respite from the fast pace, hyper active busyness that naturally ensues in city life. Looking to make deep connections, to enhance my experience with farming/community, and to perform music along the way as well as jam with other musicians along the way!
