From Toledo, OH and currently living in Columbus OH on an urban farm. I studied food systems and urban planning and am now trying my hand at actually growing produce...and
loving it! Very interested in traveling around the world - meeting folks, trying food, hearing music, and seeing different landscapes and agricultural systems.

fast forward to now 4/15/19
I have been farming for two years! and have learned so much! I am ready for some newness. Thinkin about art school in Ireland, or farming in Japan? Who the heck knows.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in love with the whole idea of CSing--we have friends all over the world, we just haven't met them yet! I have been lucky enough to stay connected to friends from Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, France, and am looking to keep growing my community <3
