CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to make a difference in peoples lives with the food they eat. I'm a huge advocate for slow food, and each day I strive to be a serene, grounded and confident woman.

ABOUT ME

I'm 23, and a Colorado native so I have a great appreciation for the mountains therefore I enjoy any moment spent soaking up the sunshine. I spent over a year in France and Switzerland where I discovered my passion for working with plants. I truly believe that we have a responsibility to only use what we need. I want to practice and teach people how to live sustainable lives. A simple life is a fulfilled life. Let's go back to the basics and stop worrying about having to be the biggest and the best!

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't let the world pass you by, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came, and while you're alive experience the warmth before you grow old." - INCUBUS

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a newbie but when I heard about CS I got really excited. If only I'd known about this community when I was back in Europe. I think this is a great source for 1. getting from point A to point B in ones travels but also for meeting amazing individuals around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet! Gotta start somewhere though

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Like mentioned previously I spent 14 months in France and Switzerland where I worked on my friends nursery, snowboarded in the Alpes, and built a garden for the kitchen at a bed and breakfast. One of my fondest memories was an evening where we rode up to a cabin in the snowy mountains, ate an amazing french dinner, and then rode sleds back down the mountain under the full moon. Oh! and I could never forget the beaches of Corsica. They're so beautiful and untamed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I AM able to be and to recognize the universal spirit in all of us. I know that we are all one therefore I find it easy to accept and see past everybody's differences. I can also teach some gardening techniques, how to swear in French, and some Science of Mind principles.

I want to learn anything and everything. I'd love to better my practice of meditation, and if I could learn how to read faster that'd be pretty sweet.
