ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Northern California. I love immersing myself in nature, love getting dirty and muddy. After college, and having lived in the Bay Area my entire life, I decided to constantly remain in motion, in flux and interested in experiences outside of my comfort zone. I have a passion for good food and fun times. I think growing food on a small-scale, without chemicals or excessive external inputs and with an immense amount of love for the soil, the ecosystem and the surrounding community can solve a lot of problems in the world.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Feel free to check out my couch anytime! Orinda might not be an exciting town but its right in between San Francisco and Walnut Creek... great places to visit!
