Between studying plants and related microbes, with students that I love, I live with my sun and daughter, and her cats. I meditate in silence. My activities keep me busy, but there must be time for travel and meeting awesome folks along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A college told me about CouchSurfing. I think the nicest thing about traveling is knowing people. I like to be with the couchsurfing community in my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born with a kind heart, but I used to get angry easily. Traveling and making friends made me happier and less upset.
