Overview
About Me
Currently I'm wandering around the world, pursuing spiritual practice and learning about people and food! I'm very interested in buddhist practice, with most of my experience practicing in the theravadan tradition, but I'm hoping to learn more generally about monastic life and temple food. I've been traveling for a couple years with friends and solo around the US. I cook at retreat centers, camps, and meditation centers, and love to do work trade! I'm very interested in growing food
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I plan to stay at a lot of meditation centers and monasteries as I travel, and enjoy staying with people when I'm in cities
