I like people and get along well with everyone.

I love nature of all kinds.

During COVID, I started living as a nomad and writing poetry. I never quite went back to "normal life."

My life's purpose is to reinvent education. I was a high school math teacher right out of college, and my heart still breaks thinking about what the current system does to kids.

I am currently growing my Connection Games practices again, and training others in how to facilitate. This is something I love sharing casually — practices for being present and open-hearted with each other, which can hopefully contribute to more depth and authenticity in all our important relationships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am giving Couchsurfing another try, after several years off.

I usually travel by camper van with my puppy, but sometimes I do fly places.

I love the gifting economy and try to participate on both sides as much as possible.
