ABOUT ME

I love going to new places and meeting new folks, though I always seem to return back to British Columbia, where i generally reside in sweet victoria by the sea or along the slocan river nestled in the west kootenays. My passion at the moment revolves around herbal medicine, whether having my nose in a book, hanging out with plants, or medicine making. beyond this l love people, supporting creatively ignited community and sleeping outside as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to host folks when I have a settled home in the fall, but will be a bit too transient for this coming summer.
My friend and I are going down to Portland for May and we're hoping to have some couches or floors to rest upon, and perhaps meet some lovely folks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've long lived in a large community house, where we have taken in many a weary traveling friend or stranger, so I think i've learned lots about how to be a contientious visitor-- mostly i love cooking and making food for hosts
