I'm 33 and life is growing in beautiful new ways for me. I live in a beautiful magic school bus that was built out in September 2019. I am make worm castings in a very special way, creating some seriously magical stuff!

I am studying regenerative agriculture, and am preparing to have new dairy sheep and geese on the pasture this coming spring. I live on 5 acres of what is some very special land, accidentally preserved as a snapshot into the valley’s past. One lone hill, three creeks converging, and a 35 tree pecan grove make for a wonderful feeling.

Very interested in teaching this stuff to the k-12 school next door once I have done it for the year 2022.

I love to cook (although my friends are much better!!!) and I am improving my skills every day.

I love to travel, but now I am in love with creating on this land. I love to have conversations on really any topic (except maybe television shows!).
I try my best to stretch, breathe, meditate and exercise every single day. The order is in whatever my body and mind need.

Always loving life, seeing it in new ways, riding the waves, and enthralled in discovering new information.
Being real with myself. Accepting myself. Taking care of myself. The world is already a challenge, and I don’t want to be in my own way also.
Developing courage. and acceptance. I like to “live for a living” if I can help it .

Always happy to change my plans when life places something wonderful into my lap.

My effort today? Create exceptional compost. Finish any unfinished books in my library lol Heal my body. Remember to love unconditionally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to host new friends when I can! Meeting new friends is far more interesting than staying at a hotel, and I’ve had many wonderful guests both on and off CS.

Interests

Yoga, soil biology, permaculture, regenerative agriculture, holistic management.

Recently I began doing the Wim Hof breathing and it has been incredibly healing for my body, mind, and spirit. Such good stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015, I spent four months traveling through India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning on my land daily. How to map it out, take soil, water, & plant samples. Getting better at being organized. Anyone got the skills? 😆 I'm always learning, and learning how to be being while I’m learning.

I want to build a picnic table and a dry sauna this fall and host friends for ice baths + dry sauna time. When the weather gets colder, a nice fire with my homemade chai tea!!!

I love to share my knowledge of soil biology. It is a fascinating universe with such profound implications for the nutrition of everything we grow. The fungi, bacteria, viruses, and archaea found here develop symbiotic relationships with plants and give us life! In our bellies, they create the diversity of our gut biome and relate symbiotically with us, giving us very important digestion information, and assisting the body in developing hormones and neurotransmitters. Research is finding this relationship affects over 70% of the body’s natural immunity.

I need to learn more organic chemistry, although I have some fundamental understanding of the physics and quantum physics within it.

There is a world to learn out here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

There is plenty of space to camp, hang a hammock, or park an RV for a stay. If it’s in your interest, participate in my learning journey gardening, drying, fermenting, and roasting foods. I love to share good conversation.

I set up the Tulsa Farmer’s Market every other Saturday, which is my favorite day of the week and has been a true blessing in my life. It’s a little work closing off roads, and putting up tents, but I love waking up early and getting the light exercise. Until 11 I work in the information tent meeting new faces and wishing everyone a good morning. It is a very cathartic exercise for me to share my smile, and open my heart.

Here to grow with all our new experiences. Love and dedication to understanding and participating with nature, her majesty, and her wonderful blue sky.
