When I'm home I spend most of my time growing, making, selling, and eating tasty food and buying, renovating, and renting out buildings.

When I travel I tend to stay in one area for a bit and just explore. I don't plan too far in advance -- I'd rather see where the wind takes me. I really enjoy walking and biking around. I love cooking meals with other people and learning languages.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Around Europe for 4 months, relying largely on Couchsurfing, BeWelcome, Hospitality Club, WWOOF, park benches, and good luck. I've hosted dozens of travelers through the years -- it keeps me sane when I'm not able to travel myself!
