I guess the word I use to describe myself is "earthling." I'm happiest when I'm outdoors. I hike, camp, and kayak. My recent passions include geocaching, birding, and wild edibles and wild medicinals. I have a master's degree in environmental education, and my bachelor's degree in both environmental science and philosophy. I'm a thinker, mostly. I love to read, write, and am passionate about music.

I've recently reignited my passion for veterinary medicine, and am preparing to attend veterinary school. I work as a veterinary assistant for a veterinary oncology specialist at the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved to Olympia on March 16, 2015. I spent a month couch surfing with three amazing hosts and their friends and families. I am on this site to meet more wonderful people with a passion for travel and a love of life. Let's share experiences!
