About Me

HI
I have been traveling all over this country and love to meet new people and see new places!

I am a builder, organic farmer, educator, and love to be a part of cool projects.

The last few years I lived in upstate NY building tiny houses and growing food as part of the local community effort! We want to be resilient as the world is changing, and inspire young folks to take big steps toward a better world, for themselves and for everyone they encounter.

Hope we can meet, when im traveling! And if youve got any questions or ideas about sustainable agriculture or building or society - ide love to talk and think up a storm of possibilities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing because I much prefer to meet new people and get to know what they are doing in a place than to go to a hotel or anything like that.

I try to keep my budget as low as possible when traveling, so I can do as much as possible in the places I go!

I love to learn and explore new places and projects, and as I travel, Couch Surfing seems like the most awesome way to get to experience a place and the people who live there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think one of the most fun and crazy adventures in my life was staying in Delphi IN, a tiny town where I got to help build a giant steel bridge over the river. It was all organized by volunteers and sooo impressive. Being a part of the communities work was amazing, and fulfilling! and makes me believe any community in America can lift itself up and build a better future

Teach, Learn, Share

Im a teacher of organic sustainable farming, and building and life skills in general - for kids and adults! If you have any interests in these things or others, its quite possible I can do a little teaching or at least drawing up fun ideas with you while im around.

People who know me, think im pretty talkative and energetic - i think im totally normal.. hahah!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ide love to bring you some homegrown produce or canned food from our gardens, I might make you some art, or have a jam session! Lets have fun! I will bring a great attitude, mature manner, intelligent conversation, and i can cook great food too!
