Hello! I'm a 54 years young tree-hugging, water-loving yogini committed to living, loving and growing mindfully with the smallest footprint possible (however I make exceptions when it comes to heat, humidity and the option of air conditioning).

I am kind of a locavore and foodie and always seek recommendations for memorable food, brew, art and music in the community I'm visiting.

I enjoy hiking, camping/backpacking, wild foods and will happily point you in the direction of a good hike (and will join you if I can).

I work full time in the environmental field and also practice massage on a part-time basis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed when I was traveling across the country and it was a fun way to get a feel for different communities. I am glad to finally have a comfortable space that I can offer to travelers and I look forward to hosting and getting to know surfers from every corner of the world, from near and far.

Musical likes run the gamut from bluegrass to free jazz to Albanian folk music.

I live in Green Bay but I don't watch football! -- but I'm happy to host Packers fans... as long as I don't have to go to the game!
