Retracing the footsteps of my ancestors, relearning the language of my grandparents. I'm a hoping to explore my cultural roots, reconnect to the land, learn Spanish, build community and create my own path of learning from the school of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What an amazing thing it is to be alive! :)
I turned 19 on a magical 18 hour train ride through the Indian countryside and then spent Diwali (new year/festival of lights) in Varanasi, one of the holiest cities in India. For weeks the nights were filled with fireworks, oil lanterns, pujas and celebrations on the river Ganga. It was truly a beautiful experience to be part of it all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach crochet, sewing, other fiber arts, gardening/sustainable living skills and love to do English/Spanish language exchange

I love to learn about indigenous cultures and the ways that different cultures relate to the land and to food. I'd love to improve my Spanish and one of my dreams is to learn to weave!
