CURRENT MISSION

Exploring, learning, centering

ABOUT ME

I'm an aspiring anthropologist and ethnobiologist, learner, writer, thinker, speaker, seeker. I love to sing and make music with friends, play with my nieces and nephew, be outdoors in any way, grow food and cook it and eat it, stretch my body and brain, write, drink wine, be merry.

PHILOSOPHY

No rush. Enjoy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I listen. I love to share my stories and thoughts, too, but mostly I enjoy listening to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but I've done a lot of traveling, sharing, and hosting in other capacities.

Interests

I love to learn, meet new people, explore on foot and bike, be in beautiful places, write and photograph, make music, and always challenge myself. I'm very interested in herbalism, food justice, sustainable agriculture, and health, and I love experiences that surprise me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Off-beat humor, interweaving tales, unique characters... I don't watch movies much, but I love listening to all types of music! Laura Gibson, the Beatles, the Head and the Heart, Fiona Apple, Joni Mitchell, Manu Chao, Beats Antique, so much more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will always relish the thrill of jumping into ice-cold water in the Oregon Cascade mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love this idea! I can guide you through baking bread, or biscuits, or pies... Or help in your garden, share what I know about plants and herbal medicines... Or we could exchange a couple favorite yoga asanas if you're into that... I can help with any writing in English and will need help from you in many other languages.
