Recent graduate of NY state school, I have a degree in Ecology/ Environmental Studies, I have some cool research experience in Central America, and a deep appreciation for the natural world (as well as coffee). I like to play music, listen to music, talk about truly anything, be outdoors, and experience new perspectives, and I don't take life very seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently traveling around the U.S., and want to be fully immersed in the culture of each destination. I'm hoping to stay with and meet interesting folks, and to connect with good hosts, . I would love to meet up!
