I love the outdoors, and learning the nuances of different cultures.

I study and grow medicinal plants for work.

Currently I live and work in Jamaica!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my travels, the thing that stuck with me were the small acts of kindness by strangers.

Offering a safe place to sleep to a friendly traveler is a great way to "pay it forward", and return some of the grace I've received when traveling!
