I live and work on an organic vegetable farm. I enjoy working outside with my hands and sourcing my own food and supporting the local community with quality produce. I enjoy cooking, reading, writing, live music, good conversation, and good company, yoga, and meditation. I love to travel and exploring new places, trying new food, and meeting people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet people and stay somewhere in a more local setting.
