CURRENT MISSION

Laugh, learn, cry and create

ABOUT ME

I will soon be attending naturopathic school. After years working with fish, this is a new direction I am taking with my life and I'm excited! Also, I'm a bit worried since I haven't spent more than 2 years in any given place since I was in college. Give it up for putting down roots for the first time!

PHILOSOPHY

I know it's cheesy but I try to live by Ghandi's words "be the change you wish to see in the world."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Admittedly I have been a bit finicky with my participation. I love the idea of CS and have loved everyone I've met through CS. Unfortunately, my lifestyle hasn't ever allowed me to host, largely because I have never had a place to call my own. Since college I have lived in bunkhouses, camping in the field or hostels/hotels. I plan to host once I settle into naturopathic school.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Burma I spent a few days with a woman I met via CS. It was a wonderful opportunity to travel a place that was knew to both of us, knowing we had a bit in common already.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Lived for 3 months with amazing Burmese women in Thailand where I taught them English. I learned so much from them.

教，学，和分享

I have vast opinions on SE Asia, sustainable food production and the state of US fisheries. I have a wee bit of knowledge in these areas as well. There is so much I want to learn! Most recently I've been drawn to foraging, farming, DIY anything (ie getting down to basics).
