About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest while I can.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going, fun-loving person. I have spent the last 5 years working as a zookeeper in various zoos throughout the US, but gave it up to complete my Master's and PhD degrees in Zoology. I can be fairly quiet or shy, but I am also a lot of fun once i open up. Animals are my life, and I couldn't imagine a life without them!

PHILOSOPHY

The only person you should strive to be better than is the person you were yesterday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have a spare room, why not share?

Interests

I love music, films, travelling, dancing, socializing, and just having a good time overall.

I prefer quieter pubs where i can sit and enjoy a pint and have a nice conversation, but at the same time, i do love a good band!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can not say enough how much I absolutely LOVE to read! I spend tons of time reading!

I listen to any music at all, I am a big fan of music as well. I think that music is a great way to express yourself, no matter how you are feeling. It's also a wonderful release! I do sing, and I love it. I love performing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hand-raising 3 leopard cubs that were rejected by their mother. Nothing is more amazing than becoming a mom to some of the most amazing animals on the planet. And to be able to watch them grow knowing it is due to all the work you have put into them. Plus, nothing is more awesome than a hug (well, more of a pile-on) from 3 full grown leopards who know you as mom!

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Canada, China
