CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and be yourself!

ABOUT ME

Hey!
I am currently an environmental educator with Audubon in New Mexico. I work in Alaska during my summers and the rest of the year take seasonal work where I can. I have a degree in geography. I love the outdoors and hiking. I'm a bird lover too. I enjoy snow shoeing and xc skiing in the winter.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't Compromise yourself. You are all you've got." Wise words from Janis Joplin. I take this to say we should all do what makes us happy and be ourselves!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently can't host given my living situation, but I have surfed in the past. Right now I do not have a lot of time to travel.
