***I've found it challenging to make time for guests and respond in a timely manner, hence I've placed this as not receiving guests. Please don't hesitate to reach out though, there is a always a chance. I am often looking for caretakers for 3 to 5 day stretches when I am on different projects.***

Just another tropical plant nerd. I've been in CR for a decade now and run a small business called, Porvenir Design. I help lodges, farms, homeowners, and so forth grow food and build soil, create habitat and improve water cycles. I teach Permaculture Design Courses at a number of sites around the country and live about 20 minutes outside of La Fortuna, near an eco-lodge called Finca Luna Nueva, which is my principle client.

I'm an avid reader, fermenter, frisbee thrower and waterfall explorer. Would love spend more time cycling. Currently cooking a lot, doing some distillation, gardening like mad, and working on the yoga practice.

I love dancing and I'm horrible at dancing.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I surfed through much of Central and South America over the last decade, but haven't used CS much recently. I finally have a spare bedroom and it is time to pay it back.

Интересы

Pretty simple. Trying to learn a livelihood so I can buy my own piece of land. My hobbies revolve around spending time in nature, building community, and skilling up so I can continue to shift from being a consumer to a producer.

Музыка, кино и книги

So many books: 1491, One River, Small is Beautiful, The Little Prince, are just a smattering of what has inspired me over the years.

All music makes me happy, especially the kind that makes me dance!
