Born and raised in Illinois; although I have lived in a few other states and spent much time doing volunteer work/trade. My passion is farming as well as herbal medicine, sustainable living and anything involving the outdoors! I currently have the travel bug, so for the moment I am seeing as many places, cultures and people as I can <3

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

It's surprising it's taken this long to join, but I think it's a great way to meet and help out travellers worldwide. There's nothing more warm and joyous than someone who can be hospitable and share there heart and home with others. The world is one giant community - we all need to start participating like it.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music of all sorts depending on the mood. Mostly I listen to folk, bluegrass, psychedelic rock, reggae, hip hop, funk and some jammy stuff. I enjoy movies although don't watch enough of them and at the moment my favorite authors are Barbara Kingsolver and Khaled Hosseini.
