CURRENT MISSION

Been in Colorado for four years, taking time off to travel and zoom out.

ABOUT ME

I studied Biology and Sustainable Development in the mountains of North Carolina. I've worked for ASU in the horticultural/research greenhouse, for the Utah BLM as a plant technician studying endangered cacti, for Shenandoah National Park as a fisheries technician doing stream studies, worked for a biopharmaceutical company as a greenhouse tech, worked for CW Botanicals as a quality analyst, and worked at Agilent Technologies as a quality assurance specialist here in Boulder, Colorado.

I love laughing, being spontaneous, and learning from others.

Music allows me to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Tic for tac. Surf some then host some. It's a beautiful cycle that keeps this site alive and well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS if full of open and like minded people which makes this community very friendly and welcoming. Everyone I have met, hosted, and surfed with have been amazing individuals with plenty of experiences to share. Also if you are in a pinch or something falls thru and you need a place to stay, some CS'ers will host you with only hours notice. When you are a traveler, that is an amazing thing to have happen. Of course, this is no good habit! Weeks notice is usually preferred!
