I am a seasonal traveler looking to tread a little bit of everywhere, have new and different experiences, acquire new skills and knowledge, and make friends who are curious and open-minded like I am! I have been to over 30 U.S. states and over 30 countries! I am happiest in the woods and mountains, but I really love tropical places too.

I work online as an editor for an online holistic lifestyle publication covering alternative health and wellness, environmental topics, activism, music, art, yoga, self-help and more. I also manage a few vacation rentals remotely to help me afford traveling and running free. But I love working with my hands the most.

I spent 4 months in Alaska this year primarily working with sled dogs, and it was by far the best trip of my life. It was so humbling and refreshing to be immersed in true wilderness.

I am a peaceful and inquisitive person and I love and adore farm animals, farms, gardens, orchards, and all types of natural places. I love learning about more about plant based lifestyles and natural medicine, and I also have interests in sound therapy, yoga, sustainability, homesteading and crafts like mosaics, woodworking, metalsmithing, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to continue making friends along my travels who I can connect with and stay in touch with over the years. I really value face-to-face interaction and friendship! I enjoy sharing perspectives, hearing people's life stories and sharing my own.
