CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

so much to say, so little space. i garden, make liquid refreshments, sleep easily and well, live near the beach, created an artbarn for my friends and neighbors to enjoy, work with kids, will be a foster mother soon, have 2 cats plus one who is feral, play sing-a-longs on the geetar, ride a bike, drive a saab, eat healthy, enjoy eating, enjoy cooking, take walks, made an earthen pizza oven in my yard, have friend of all ages, dance like nobody's watching (cause they may not be), make awesome crazy french toast, and home-made chai (my home or yours,) grow vegetables (and flowers and fruit trees), enjoy beer, drinking coffee, crave watching moons rise and fall, read, study permaculture.

PHILOSOPHY

i live according to kindergarten classroom rules (i was easily impressed.)
be nice, share, don't forget your lunch bag, clean up after yourself, coloring outside the lines is ok., jump, run, jump, fall... get up, do it again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I’ve moved and currently don’t have room for a couch surfer but still love to meet travelers and sometimes can help find a place for an overnight guest.
just gettin' excited about getting on here. i host all kinds of people anyway, might as well make it official. would like to go more places, so i can hardly wait!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

nothin' official.i've hosted lots of people, not only on a spare couch, but in a spare bedroom! my most memorable has been couchsurfing at burning man, just finding cozy spots to crash, knowing that i would be safe and well provided for! ahhhhhhh!!!
have paid for surfing on couches in n.y., holland, s.f, but never has it seemed so alluring!
