I am a forager, first and foremost, and enjoy sharing the kettle moraine forest with people who want to learn more about natural springs to drink from. I also am as flexible as Gumby in a yoga classroom in spandex, so I definitely am not afraid to get out of my comfort zone and gain new interests and skill sets.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Looking to meet a wide variety of folks from all different paths who may have common interests. Throughout my life I have found so many interesting people to share stories and skills with. Be it children, co workers, people three times my age, the Earth is a very interesting place right now, and it's a really huge blessing to be alive in this era.

兴趣

I like to build saunas, hunt mushrooms and wild turkey, forage for food year round, find spring water to drink from, hot springs to bath in, make herbal beer, ferment wild foods, tell stories, write zines about the wilderness of Wisconsin, and one day I hope to visit the old growth forests again. And become an old growth human being.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Not really amazing.. all organisms are capable of amazing feats.
I've ran half marathons, which some say is interesting.

教，学，和分享

I can share ancient herbal beers from thousands of years ago, skills for tapping springs, locating spring water, plant identification, how to build shelters in woodland areas, how to make fire without using modern tools, how to treat antibiotic resistant bacteria with herbs that are local, how to make gourmet food from the wild and local eco system. Most importantly how to add a unique sense of humor to everything :)
