CURRENT MISSION

To find a true purpose for my travel, some sort of sacred adventure goal.

ABOUT ME

I used to be a software engineer, and now I'm nearly a naturopathic family doctor trained to attend out-of-hospital births. I'm wholly devoted to naturopathic health and love talking about medicine and midwifery (as well as transit, urban planning, economics, parenting). I love telling stories and getting to know people, especially random people. Giving a random guy a ride home from the ferry was the highlight of my last vacation -- he turned out to be fascinating, and now we're good friends.

PHILOSOPHY

To adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hoping to mesh with the CS community during my forthcoming travels to Oceania.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, formally, though I have much enjoyed hosting casual couchsurfers pointed my direction by mutual friends.

Interests

Babies, parenting, photography, growing food, sewing, quilting, writing database-driven applications, writing fiction, writing poetry, making meaningful ritual in my life.
