CURRENT MISSION

Go to new places and learn, meet new people and do things I have never done before.

ABOUT ME

I am a child at heart because I choose to manifest youthful, happy thoughts. I am very friendly, silly, kind, and open-minded. I love helping people and developing communities.

I am clean, take short showers, and I like to be helpful. I am very good with infants/children and the elderly, I'm handy around the house/garden, and I'm always full of energy and smiles.

I drink very little and don't smoke/do drugs.

PHILOSOPHY

I only do things that make me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to be helpful any way I can. I am a childcare provider, caregiver, gardener, house cleaner, and artist. I can help you with any of these things.

With my experience in running a non-profit in Portland I can also help you file paperwork and work on your business.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to live with someone who is on CouchSurfing. I lived with her for a year in a cob house that she and her family had built in the back yard.

It was one of the most amazing and beautiful experiences of my life. This cob house had a wood burning stove, carvings in the walls, was lit by candles and small enough for a bed and a bag. All of it was in the middle of this oasis of a garden.....

I became good friends and now feel like family with the people I lived with. I helped parent the children with the mother while the father was out cleaning up oil spills. The mother and the children taught me about farm life and made me feel truly loved and valued.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help educate people on how to be more active in their community, create tangible change in the world around them, develop a business, raise children, take care of the sick, disabled and elderly, cook/bake, garden , live a healthy life style, and how to save money.

My need and desire to learn is endless. Things I really want to learn right now: another language, woodworking, welding, glass blowing, metal forging, ballet, and skills for living off of the wilderness.
