I graduated from the university of Vermont in 2015 and since then have been pursuing research experiences in Marine Biology/Sociobiology. I spent a few months around latin America for field research and to work as a Mountain Bike guide in Colombia. I like to talk about cultures, science, world-views, the environment, pretty much anything and like spending times outdoors touring museums or parks.

I am always up for new experiences and would love to see the things you love most about where you live, what you like to do, where you eat, or even just what music you like to listen to. I am a very considerate guest and not needy at all but at the same time am down to hangout during my stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoyed getting to meet people as I traveled in Latin America, hearing their stories, different perspectives, and just making new friends. Without Hostel Culture in the US I hope couchsurfing can be a similar way to meet people as I travel throughout the country.

Interests

I try to make the most out of every day and immerse myself in the things that make a place I am visiting unique as well as get to know people there. I am very curious to get to know differing points of view and see how that might change across places.

I love breakfast places or just a coffee and a bagel, good sandwich shops, and getting food to go and eating it outside somewhere with a nice view.
