About Me

My boyfriend Dakota and I am just began a journey throughout Latin America to learn about traditional farming and agroecology.

We both are aspiring farmers who studied agroecology in school, but now want to experience first hand the research, farming methods, and social movement behind it.

Our last host told us "que sea amable," which we think are very good words to live by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met awesome couchsurfers and hosts and I'm traveling on a budget. We also want to meet locals that can give us the insider advice and perspective and help us with our Spanish.
