I'm a learner, bridge builder and permaculture designer who likes to adventure, try new things and laugh. My career deals with regeneration and resilience for individuals, communities and land. Meeting new people, sharing and love make me happy.

PHILOSOPHY

"You can solve all the problems of the world in a garden"
-Geoff Lawton

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since 2010 I have had numerous CS experiences throughout Europe and in 48 of the United States, and not one has been negative. In fact, they have generally been amazing experiences!

More and more, I believe that the free cultural exchange and dialogue that Couschsurfing promotes is an important service to humanity, and should be encouraged.

Interests

I'm interested in basically everything, especially when I know nothing about it and/or it brings beauty, truth or goodness to people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to talk, learn and share, but not as much impersonally on the internet, and not as much as I like to listen--talk to me--my life is an open book.

Goal: I would like to be able to teach and learn one thing to/from every new encounter, and smile most of the time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It depends on where we are! I love to share stories, and to help leave a place at least as good, if not better, than we found it. Happy to help cook/clean, or with anything else.

If like to laugh, you're interested in languages or regenerative business, you'll probably find something that I can share :-)
