About Me

ABOUT ME

I work on organic vegetable farms 8-9 months out of the year, ride my bike, read, write, make herbal medicine & fermented foods, hike and otherwise spend as much time outside as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been on here too much! Currently I'm looking for folks to host me & my friend in Chiapas y Oaxaca.

No había usado el sitio mucho recientemente. Ahora busco alguien que puede recibir mi amigo y yo a su casita en Chiapas y/o Oaxaca.

Interests

bikes, street art, dancing, crafts, coffee, writing, reading, PLANTS!

I am NOT interested in having romantic relations through couch surfing! Please don't house me if you are trying to kiss me because I am not trying to do that.

No uso couchsurfing como una herramienta romántica y no quiero tener relaciones sexuales contigo.
