I was born in London, ON, Canada and grew up mostly in southern and northern Ontario. My partner, our 3 kids, our 13 pets, and I moved out West in 2015, to establish our careers, raise our kids closer to the land, and work towards a sustainable eco village.
We're currently bringing up a brood of Muscovy ducks! We love them so much! We intend to expand our permaculture practices (with the ducks!) in the Spring, and eventually I would love to integrate citrus orchards into our plans!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing as a means of finding affordable accommodations while traveling, getting an opportunity to meet some locals while taking in their unique perspectives of the region, and for the opportunity to meet like minded, kindred spirits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a midwifery student, I helped stop a deportation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone how to make a pair of moccasins, a dream catcher, or how to brew Kombucha.
I still have lots to learn... about everything!!! ...working on active listening skills is a good place to start!
I would share what I have on my back (or in my car!😉), my time, and my generous spirit with the right people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, I can share food, music, incense, meaningful conversation, and would be up for climbing a mountain, playing music and breaking bread on said mountain, and checking out whatever music scene the area has to offer!
