CURRENT MISSION

SCIENCE!

ABOUT ME

I'm a recently graduated graduate student, and just started working in a lab with intracellular signaling pathways in plants and potentially some algal biofuels work. I've lived in Fort Collins now for 7 years and LOVE it here. My hobbies include but are not limited to:
hiking, biking, backpacking, travel, xc skiing, horticulture, yogurt/cheese making, beer/wine making, hard-core knitting, chickens, and wild mushroom/berry/urban foraging.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your bliss, mine consists of: connecting with good people, nature, exploring creative ways of providing for myself and working towards a purpose greater than myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I now have a home and a couch available in Fort Collins. My roommate Ali and I have hosted one surfer so far and hope to host many more. Am planning on traveling to Switzerland soon and hope to experience some Swiss surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Last house I lived in my roommate was a member and we had a couple surfers come by. It's been all good experiences so far.
