About Me

World traveller currently on hiatus while establishing my small farm outside of Eugene. Enthusiastic intermediate Spanish speaker.

I spent my late teens and early twenties backpacking the world, and have slowed way down into the homesteading life.
We have an organic farm half an hour West of town, and I am finally looking to do some Couchsurfing of my own. I have predominately hosted in the past, and am excited to meet new people, particularly in my local area.

For the most part I'll be looking for a safe and comfortable place in town to spend an evening while going to a concert, or other late night adventures.
I have plenty of experience with shared housing, and consider myself an excellent and courteous guest.
I am also happy to make donations to host homes, either in cash or farm goodies.

Most days I can be found doing chores, hiking and hanging out with mydogs. Would like to be able to host again soon, once our infrastructure is more accommodating.

"If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things."
*Henry Miller*
