I have lived my entire life in the Pacific Northwest USA. Originally from Northern California, now residing on San Juan Island near the town of Friday Harbor, WA. I have a private massage therapy/bodywork practice in town. I live with my partner and our two cats on a few acres where we have a garden, and are a short walk to the Salish sea shoreline.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to host and visit. Lodging and even camping has become wildly expensive, so I am here to participate in an alternative culture where we all travel lighter and share with others.

Interests

I'm interested in nature, camping, bike packing, regenerative agriculture, home gardening, herbalism, ecology, cultures other than my own, rails to trails, backpacking, bodywork modalities, and travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share bike packing tips, body work techniques, gardening advice and probably some other useful things too? I like to learn about the natural ecology and history of places I visit, good food, trails and places of interest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good attitude, mindfulness and openness to their way of life. I can share my time and cook & clean up or help out with a project if time allows.
