CURRENT MISSION

To be self reliant and open minded about life! But really!
I want to learn how to make my own foods and live efficiently as well as freely. I travel currently with lots of daily expenses and would like to meet more locals in the midst of cutting down the costs of living.. So couchsurfing is a win win!

About me:
I'm an art love love lover. Particularly music. I travel with my greatest companion: a backpacker guitar, and I share her with travelers that cross our paths.
I also love a good nature adventure and have done a few day excursions as well as a few night hiking excursions well over ten miles. That being said I am not as fit a I thought I'd be and lugging around my gear is more tiresome than I remember. Also am getting back to books (reading life of pi currently and it is a nice first read for not having read in a while).
I love campfires and storytelling and trading foot massages.
I miss my cat back home a lot already!

PHILOSOPHY

Just trying to love myself and follow the callings! Why can't we be friends ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always open to talking, travelling together, hosting! Currently I am traveling through Europe, so I can't host. And I've had this site for a couple of years but I'm just now comfortable and open to the idea of using it and how awesome it can be. So if you host me not only will you get your own private musical experience but I will definitely contribute to the space, via cooking, cleaning, creating, whatever!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So great so far! I mean really, the people who host... Bravo !

Interests

I love me my animals.
Ceramics, I do most of my work by hand because I feel like it's more engaging, but I also like to throw things on the wheel.

Musica! (Of course, who isn't interested in it).
Natural medicine is something I've been becoming gradually more interested in: tinctures, salves etc.
And cooking! I want to learn recipes, feed me your recipes!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

(Just one?)I've been stung by a stingray! (Though that's not really somethin I've done, just sort if happened to me, but still!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you the guitar!

I could teach you how to make some tinctures if you had some minor health issues or were just interested.

I could help you learn/practice Spanish.

I have a tarot deck to share and am able to show you how to read/pull from it.

I can teach you basic composting and lost if DIY projects/ideas.

I'm pretty coffee knowledgeable and can show you how to do a cold brew for iced Jo!

All these things I can share if given the circumstances!

I would love to learn more gardening tips.
Would love to learn more cooking, maybe even some baking (quiches, pies). I'd love to learn how to make jams or wine.
Always would love to learn more on the guitar!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share music, conversation, and I have a couple more American spirits if you'd like to try tobacco from where I'm from!
