Hi all! I'm a very social person looking to meet new friends in new countries. I have lived and worked several years in Camphill Communities--intentional agricultural communities supporting people with special needs--and there discovered a deep love of lifesharing, cultural exchange, and experiencing the broadest possible spectrum of human development. I never tire of hearing people's biographies!

My hobbies include piano, singing, cycling, paddling, hiking, and exploring new places. I am fluent in English and speak Spanish at an intermediate level. Once upon a time I was a freelance podcast producer but after about 5 years of it I realized I was more into having conversations than editing them. I enjoy writing--what am I saying, I hate writing--but I enjoy when it's finished. Try to avoid car travel at all costs; excited to see the as much of the world as I can by train, bike, and boat.

“If I meet other people and criticize their weaknesses, I rob myself of higher cognitive power. But if I try to enter deeply and lovingly into another person's good qualities, I gather in that force.” -Rudolf Steiner

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to see people's lives at home. There is no better way to get acquainted with a new place than seeing how people actually live their everyday lives.
