A 26-year-old environmentalist with a passion for sustainable development at local levels, glaciology and paleoclimate, and loving our planet as much as possible! I'm an American national and I love learning about and experiencing other cultures - especially through cuisine. Hope to experience and adventure as much of the world as I can while I'm here :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Friends recommended it after incredibly positive experiences traveling through Western Europe - I'd love to get the local's inside perspective while traveling, make connections across the planet, and meet amazing people!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I'm into funk, ska, big band/New Orleans-style brass, punk, bluegrass, and any combination of the above. Also Motown/50s/60s.

Don't watch many movies these days, but love watching horror movies in the theater haha. Favorites? Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, Stand By Me.

I'm getting back into reading for pleasure after years of strictly scientific journal articles. Send recommendations!
