I moved to this little town to live and work on an organic vegetable farm and although I no longer farm I still get my hands into the dirt almost every day and I really love all sorts of thing s about food... growing it, cooking preserving, fermenting... I love to be in the woods especially on my mountain bike or backpacking for days on end...I love cold fresh water of lakes and streams but I really do prefer a warm ocean as opposed to the cold pacific just down the street from my home. I have been getting back into doing art work, its been a while, I got out of the habit when I started full time farming and stopped traveling... I love many kinds of music and while dancing I feel most free and alive. I am a pretty chill person often quite and kind of shy. I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful place within a great community and I love to share it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got on couch surfing to be able to meet more people while I travel. The best way to get to know a place is to hang with the people who live there. I live in a great place too, worth visiting and so I would love to share my home with others. I am kinda shy so just meeting folks at the bar or the hostel, ect. isn't that easy for me and so I figured couchsurfing will help me get to know more people more easily .
