Please note: I travel a lot for work and fun, so I can't often hang out as a host, but I love to offer you a clean comfortable place. I'm a fit for people who are clear and reliable, since I have to make arrangements for you to stay at my house -- arrivals only before 8pm please no late nights.

I'm a sailor, an artist, a meditator, and a radical leftist. I'm mostly sober.

I'm also a "professional" property manager. I've also been hosting travelers for about 15 years on various alt platforms and through word of mouth. Now I'm traveling a lot again myself, as well!

I love meditation, yoga, sauna, nature, hiking, walks, reading, cooking, eating, adventure, sleep -- early to bed early to rise.

I'm clean, considerate, and have traveled all over the world (25+ countries, and 25+ states).

I've taught yoga and lived at an off-grid remote Hawaiian spiritual center, in Bedouin tents in the Jordan desert, done mutual aid grassroots food reclamation and redistribution, backpacked hot pots in Iceland, and lived aboard in a sailboat for 7 months... just to name a few cool adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent the last few years reconnecting with traveling long term, often 3 months or more in each location...

I like to offer space in my historic home to fellow travelers.

Also looking for cool opportunities to meet and stay with new folks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a meal or clean your bathroom, sit your house long term, or help out with your garden.

I'm a professional yoga teacher and also a professional retreat facilitator -- if you want to do a two hour explosive visioning session together to manifest some dreams for our lives this coming year that could be powerful!
