Hello! My name is Brontë Velez and my life and praxis is committed to holistic healing, in all mediums. As an artist, farmer, designer, and educator, I am committed to materializing the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible.

I am tidy, present, and giggly and take invitations to people's homes, very intently. (Also recently read that the medicinal definition for "intention" is the "healing process of a wound." Can't stop thinking about that!)

I am dedicated to marvelous connections with other humans, be they brief and/or infinite and love knowing other humans around the world. I am quite the nomad and consider myself a global citizen who finds home in the wonderful people I encounter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for economical ways to cultivate alternative creative currencies. This also means I am interested in shared economies and shared spaces that cutout the middleman. While traveling, I like to make intentional connections with folks who deeply know and love their cities and towns and landscapes and want to encounter honest explorations of the places I am visiting! This platform permits that interaction!
