I forgot about couchsurfing for a few years (we've been using AirBnB) and recently remembered I have an account so I'm glad to be back! My Husband, Brendan, and I hope to host in the future because we want to be more involved in the sharing economy by embracing alternative ways to engage with the community passing through or city and our own neighborhood.

CURRENT MISSION

To drive across the USA, to feel more connected, to experience the hidden gems in this country, to meet new people, to share genuine conversations and adventures along the way.

ABOUT ME

Brendan and I are currently living in the Southwestern part of the US where we are appreciating desert foods, stunning sunsets, cactus adventures and playful people.

I love to adventure especially with Brendan's paw in mine, together we don't let the moss grow under our feet. We have lived in Seattle, New Hampshire, around Boston, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and most recently moved from Thailand where we were co-managing a permaculture farm for 5 months to Arizona to share time with family.

PHILOSOPHY

To make someone else's day, every day, To love unconditionally and to recognize and be grateful for every simple gift in this life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't couchsurfed hardly at all, but I have hosted a few of people passing through. Brendan and I look forward hosting more surfers when we can. I also look forward to couchsurfing when I get back on the road at the end of December 2017-January 2018

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped build an earthship on a remote, uninhabited island in Indonesia. For the month that I was there, my team and I created our own culture and connected without distractions. It was an incredibly powerful and transformative experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts
