My profession is my life. I'm an eco-geek at heart. I primarily work with sea turtles, but have been known to stray into other pursuits as well. Also been told I'm a wonderful cook.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling isn't the same unless you meet the locals. It's such a rewarding experience to share knowledge and culture. Plus, swapping stories is a blast.

Interests

Scuba diving, backpacking, rock climbing, caving, cooking

I love to travel. It's part of my job. I'm constantly on the move and dread heading back to familiarity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Angel's Landing (Zion National Park) It's a fantastic climb and even better view.

Rescuing a stranded green sea turtle down in South Padre Island, TX. It was stuck far into the rocks and I was able to wriggle it free.

Completed an entire bowl of phaal. Don't try this one at home kids.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about sea turtles for quite some time.

Or share a recipe or two.
