CURRENT MISSION

To soak up life like a sponge...

ABOUT ME

I'm a nice girl from Arkansas who happens to also be from everywhere else. Have patched together a handful of "occupations" from nonprofit/volunteer work, combined with farming (mostly on other people's farms, just now attempting to help start one up from scratch) overlapping with archaeological field work. Much of my work is seasonal so when possible, I hope to travel to places where I can be useful and/or learn more about how others do what they do.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life with courage. I'd like to say I've made an effort to try everything once, with the exception of hard drugs. I believe there is beauty and complexity in all things and all people. I've made a lot of mistakes in life but the ones I regret the most are times I didn't try or do or say something I should have.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am travelling. Hopefully I can meet some new folks on the road, and when I'm back in Colorado I'd love to have surfers at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am somewhat new to Couchsurfing, I signed up back in 2007 but haven't had enough opportunity to travel until more recently. Hope to rack up some stories soon!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When people who've lost everything still find ways to love and give, pay it forward and not only find happiness but truly care for the happiness of others, I'm amazed. The fact that a seed, given no prompting but water, soil and time, stands the chance of becoming a living, breathing, fruit-bearing organism is amazing, isn't it?
