CURRENT MISSION

Attempting to reforest my village, one NFT at a time!

ABOUT ME

I graduated from Kent State in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in Conservation Biology and Climatology. I am currently serving in Togo for the Peace Corps as an Environmental Action and Food Security Volunteer. I work more under the domain of Agroforestry/Reforestation in the most deforested region of Togo.

Prior to now I have worked with a combination of the National Park Service, local seed bank, local organic farmers and various other plant related endeavors. Aside from botany, I thoroughly enjoy good beers(preference of Belgians), following natural disasters, taking on baking challenges, hiking wherever the world takes me and engaging in conversation with complete strangers.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to live and work in as many biomes as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hoping to share my little home in Barkoissi with others during my service here. I will be sure to share delightful local cuisine and beers (Tchakpa--millet beer) and probably geek out on plants a bit. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On my trip out to Wyoming I stayed with 2 different households in South Dakota and Wyoming as well. It was such a stress-free, welcoming and lovely experience. I look forward surfing in the future again!
