About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a climate and environmental justice arts-activist and community organizer

PHILOSOPHY

I am very thankful for what I have. I value experiences and relationships much more than material possessions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is a great way to travel and to get oriented in new places through the community groups. I also enjoy hosting people and have more capacity to do this than in previous years, which is nice :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

not enough! I've stayed with Couchsurfers in Bermuda and Belgium and both times were fantastic experiences. I have much love for this community.

Interests

I love cooking and hosting meals with friends. I love gardening, arts, sailing, swimming, camping, community events...

I am interested in cultural transformation to solve climate change and ecological crises, racism, classism, sexism, ableism, etc.
