About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If there's love, I just wanna have something to do with it.

ABOUT ME

I am either full of energy or asleep. That said, if I'm on two feet I'm in the library dancing, hiking, practicing yoga, camping, playing in the garden, diving, snorkeling, swimming, feeding my buddies w organic veggie love, biking around town, foraging wilds and fungus, thrift shopping or learning. I grew up bi-coastal and have travelled the world alone on a shoestring but have never used this site to find a place to stay (YET!).

PHILOSOPHY

The Sun never says to the Earth "you owe me". Look what happens with a love like that – it lights up the whole sky.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only hosted through this site once but it was a great experience. Unofficially, my friends are always well fed by me and often cozy up on the couches. I have a sewing machine if you need to mend some things and art supplies if you're feeling creative.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've only had one formal couchsurfing.com guest and she was sweet! She brought us a sparkly soap!
