Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host when I can - and pay forward some of the incredible kindness I've received while traveling. To get to know beautiful diverse people all over the place. To continue to expand my understanding and bewilderment at the depth and breadth of life!

Books: Some recent faves: Emergent Strategy, Rebellious Mourning, Foucault's Pendulum, anything by Ursula Le Guin! I like weird comic books too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share the very accessible craft of felting tiny monsters! If I'm with you for a bit we could even make hats or gloves. I can teach you how to make a bow-drill fire and share wildcrafted herbal salves and medicines. I'm an excellent sweeper and dish-doer! I am very mindful of the space I take up and easy to please. Down for spontaneous dancing and singing, and can teach you lots of songs!
