I am currently on a 5 month WWOOF (world wide opportunities on organic farms) tour of the Midwest. I'm looking to get out of the city permanently and return to the wild where I belong! I am traveling with my canine companion Mori, a 3 year old, well behaved, house trained lab mix. I was previously a school and community garden coordinator in my home town, as well as an herbs and essential oils retailer at a health food store.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be looking for places to crash in between hosts in areas where they are spread out. I also just enjoy communal living and meeting new and interesting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I designed the garden program for the non-profit I previously worked for, wrote a 16 week garden curriculum, trained garden coordinators, and was able to pass off the program infrastructure to my replacements when I left.
