CURRENT MISSION

inspired by Mary Oliver - "over and over announcing your place // in the family of things"

ABOUT ME

I moved from Brooklyn to Albuquerque a few months back. I work with Generation Justice, UNM-Continuing Ed and a Reggio-inspired preschool. I love to go on adventures and be outside and soak up all kinds of art.

PHILOSOPHY

Live it, love it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been both host and guest. I love to meet people-- travelers especially --to learn about their stories, lives, perspectives. Think Couchsurfing is a way to live deeper.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend and I surfed with a nice man in Thunder Bay. It was my first time. I enjoyed it very much. I hope to give others the warmth and grace they gave us.
