About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To unite the world!

ABOUT ME
I have had the opportunity to explore many different vocations in this life and hope I can use those skills to help others reach their goals, and nurture those relationships to reach mine! Currently involved with growing CBD hemp in the North Fork Valley on the western slope of Colorado.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept that we are "only" human, with a divine spark that shines bright when we allow. Living my life to learn, grow, experience this lovely planet we've been blessed with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Joined a while ago, having learned about CS from mutual friends. What better way to create world community? Have hosted quite a few surfers- haven't surfed much myself, although I have WWOOFed a bit!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Other than the couches I wound up on while hitchhiking around the country as a youth, I'm new to CS as a deliberate, conscious pursuit. Looking forward to growing within the CS community! My most favorite was being invited into a one room home whilst hitchhiking through Morocco when I was 19.
