About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To contribute to and travel within this world of amazing people, animals, people, plants, and landscapes. To listen, to share, to enojy deeply each moment, even ones where I'm dirty and have a stomach flu.

ABOUT ME

A small town in western Colorado USA is where I now call home. Organic farming, art, and quality time spent with friends and in nature are the way of life. However, it is good to get out and see the world and I would now like to invite other travelers to come stay with my partner Michael and I in our little cabin with a wood burning stove in a magical little farming town :) I love yoga, dance, meditation, wilderness, art, and collaborative artistic endeavors.

PHILOSOPHY

She had a galaxy in her mind, a universe in her eyes, a cosmos in her heart.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First couchsurfed while in College with a lovely retired couple in Portland, Oregon and loved it. Have since traveled to New Zealand and met up with a fellow couch surfer to travel and hike. Hosted travelers while living in Alaska. Am now eagerly looking forward to a trip the last two weeks of April 2019.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing sights seen: Lava flowing into the ocean under a full moon on the big island of Hawaii. The peeks of Denali after 40 days of rain while working a backcountry trail crew in the park. The falls of Havasu in the Grand Canyon. Cycling through northern CA and OR. Cycling in the Yukon. Hiking into Canada from AK on the Chilkoot trail. Views from peeks in the San Juan Mts. and la Platas of Colorado. I'm a lucky woman to have lived, worked, and explored in some of the more wild and remote corners of the world.
