A good weekend often includes hand drumming/drum circle, movement/dancing, and kirtan/singing circle! I am a polite person that likes to share stories with others and laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently going to do volunteer work in Jamaica but need a 2 night stay on July 13th and 14th. I also want to travel more and meet local people when doing so. I may host for 2 summer months a year in Maine.
