I live, garden and do healthcare research in a Rural area in an old farmhouse and spend some time exploring the Adirondacks. I relate to rocks, fossils, butterflies, flowers, vegetables, the elderly, dogs, bears, ---nature in general and specifically, according to where I am at the moment. My best friend travels with me, she is 12, has four legs, and her name is Rosa. My garden has a small camper next to it.
My views grounded on Buddhist Teachings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The little camper does not get much use and I like meeting people. Plus it encourages humility!
