CURRENT MISSION

To live a meaningful life, a conscious life.

ABOUT ME

I'm an organic vegetable farmer in Maine but I also still love to travel and experience new places, peoples, foods, cultures. I also love to cook and bake.
Some things that are important to me: supporting local agriculture/community/business, learning and immersing myself in local ecosystems, meaningful, rewarding, and challenging work, positive/constructive relationships.

PHILOSOPHY

"Only when the last tree has died, and the last river has been poisoned, and the last fish has been caught, will we realize we cannot eat money!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Willing to host people when I can, and looking forward to being hosted when I travel in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First couchsurf was totally by chance.
Spokane, WA and no place to stay. Asked around and lo and behold found someone who had friends who couchsurfed. From then on, CS was on my mind.
