CURRENT MISSION

Spreading love through growing food and appreciating imperfection

ABOUT ME

I work with sustainable agriculture in the global south, and use participatory, or collaborative, video to share information. I love working in groups using creativity to achieve common goals, and believe in the power of people telling their own stories. I love music, cooking with others, humor, camping, bonfires, fireworks, things that sparkle, people who laugh loudly, kindness, comfortable shoes, and drawstring pants.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it for the story.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed and spent time with couchsurfers in England, Italy, Zimbabwe, the Netherlands--incredibly positive experiences with fabulous people!! Hosted fantastic people while living in Mozambique, including travelling with couchsurfers who stayed with me. I've had a lot of unnofficial couchsurfing experiences as well--went to Australia knowing no one, hitched across twice, and only paid for a place to stay one night!!
