I'm a friendly, easy-going person who loves adventuring to visit new places and meet new people. After graduating university in England, I moved temporarily to the US to explore environmental conservation and somehow fell in love with farming. Now I work on an educational farm in Massachusetts, spending my time cooking for school groups and moving hay bales.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment, I'm moving around to new places to see beautiful parts of the world, and this is a perfect way to meet local people who know their own turf much better than I do! I'm hoping to return the favour when I eventually pick one spot and settle down for a bit.

Interests

I love being outdoors, hiking, farming and am passionate about the environment and sustainability. Hobbies: cooking, reading, rock climbing, travelling, knitting, swimming in wild places, board games, movies, the list goes on....

Books - Jane Eyre, Harry Potter, The Wheel of Time, many more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a summer hiking and surveying meadows for the NPS in Yosemite.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know my way around a kitchen and love cooking for other people, am always up for learning new things - especially languages - and one of my favourite things about couchsurfing is the opportunity it provides to share cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, passion for the environment, a good walk, my relationship with God (only if interested, I'm not a Bible-basher, don't worry!)
