I love people! Am charismatic and fun! Good sense of humor!! (Thank god, to balance out the morbid side- haha!)
I have a 17 year old son I have raised on my own... it was hard, worth everything and I did a great job!
I'm incredibly idealistic.
I lived communally for 14 years with a group of 20-70 artists/activists on an organic farm.
I've been in the Asheville area for the last 12 years, raised my son here... and have a beautiful community here.

I love gardening, all things flowers... was a craftsperson for over a decade traveling to art shows for a living. Now I am moving into different forms of healing arts and therapeutic work.

I am a connector. I bring people together. I love deeply.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For years I traveled to craft shows and stayed with people I met here... I had so many wonderful experiences and connections this way... all of them beyond good. For awhile I hosted some people as well... but stopped as I was raising my son. It's been 10 years and I am just rejoining. (and just quickly re-doing my entire profile as it's way outdated)

I want to start to travel again and thought this would be a wonderful way to do it. As well, I have some space in my home now to offer to other travelers- always fun to meet new folks.
