ABOUT ME

Trying to pursue ways of working cooperatively and applying permaculture (regenerative living) ethics and design.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only had a few surfing experience so far, and limited hosting (at least not via couchsurfing - more hosting just organically).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

great - looking forward to more! I wish there was a way to set dates of availability, though, as I live in a very popular city, and it became overwhelming to deal with the number of requests.
