CURRENT MISSION

to meet the people of Iceland!

ABOUT ME

I'll be traveling with my younger sister in Iceland from June 24 to July 10th. We both loving outdoors and will probably spend most of the trip that way - but we don't want to leave without getting to know some of the locals!

You won't see me without a camera (and often a notebook, too) I love to draw, write and take hundreds of pictures.

More photos of me on Facebook:

If you'd like to see more of me before you host - send a request!

PHILOSOPHY

I've worked in the environmental sciences and it's shaped my personal philosophy greatly. I strive to live in a way that is good for my body, community and planet Earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was first a guest in France and Italy... I was amazed by the hospitality that I received there and have enjoyed being a host as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met great people through this! It's given me new friends and a much richer travel experience.

Interests

I'm active as a community organizer.

I volunteer to help the queer (Gay/Lesbian) community get together for environmental projects and conversations: http://out4s.org/

I'm also an administrator for a huge public garden: http://beaconfoodforest.weebly.com/

I live in a very old house in Seattle with roommates and four chickens. I love to cook, tell stories, and socialize with friends.

Would love to get tips on the best places to visit while I'm in Iceland.
