CURRENT MISSION
To inspire joy and share connection with others

ABOUT ME
Friends call me creative, open-hearted and warm. I'm a writer, singer, and a passionate lover of stories in all forms. I've worked for Time Magazine, public television and feature films; as a multimedia producer, teacher, and teen circle facilitator; as a novelist and soloist with Seattle’s Total Experience Gospel Choir. My calling is to encourage others to show up more fully in their own life story, through coaching, workshops, women's circles, camps for teens, and vocal sound healing.

PHILOSOPHY
We are here to learn, to create and make the world a better place as we go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy people, period. I love hosting and sharing our beautiful land and small organic farm, and reciprocating a warm welcome. As a performance artist and singer, I intend to be on the road where couch surfing can make all the difference: offering a warm homey atmosphere. I look forward to meeting others in the sharing economy.
