ABOUT ME

Curious, open, out for joy. I love to travel and interact, observe and soak in, and experience new things. I live most of the year in Madison, WI, USA, and part of the year in coastal Oaxaca, Mexico.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to hosting and hope that continued travels bring more opportunities for couch surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new and have set up my first couch in Poland for a couple of weeks from now. I am very excited for the experience and hope to someday return the favor.

Interests

Hiking, gardening and being in nature. Cooking, food, and celebrating the seasons and journey to our plate. Exploring new things. I keep chickens and grow plants in my backyard, live with a dog, a newt, and a human inside, and I strive to enjoy the things around me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ozomatli, Asian Dub Foundation, Brian Eno, and Shelby Lynne to name but a few . . .

too many movies to list - it has to really suck for me to not like it, and even then I appreciate the effort.

100 Years of Solitude is an old favorite.
I'm currently reading Biografi - Lloyd Jones
