CURRENT MISSION

explore the world, slowly and intimately

ABOUT ME

A vet in transition to research scientist, occasional horse trainer, photographer and beach bum. Full time nomad.. and glutton?
Forever fascinated with the ocean, sunshine, animals and anything equally pure and wild and free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would love to help a stranded traveler, knowing what it's like! Australia is a big country and things are far away...but beyond well worth it for those who brave the road.

Right now - husband and I are living in DC for a couple of months while I hone my lab skills at the National Zoo's research institute, would love to meet those in the local couchsurfing crowd for a beer or two.

Interests

The earth and all its creatures, saving the earth and its creatures from humans, exploring the world and forever learning!
Also training horses, martial arts, camping, wine and cheese and olives, real butter and milk from my cow, debating obscure scientific topics and political theories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Dawkins and Darwin. Kurosawa and Tarantino. Blues and rock and Latin and anything that is genuine and honest and raw.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Observing the little beautiful things in life. Travelling the villages of Portugal and WWOOFING with some unforgettable characters. Making amazing friends through couchsurfing. Camping in the south of France for a month. Seeing all four great riding schools of the world. Walking around the huge rock in the Australian desert. Watching animals enter the world. Waking up to see the sun rise over the ocean and pods of playing dolphins.
