ABOUT ME

Hey! So, I've traveled a bit in my time. It's awesome. I enjoy learning and doing things on my own. But also love hanging in big groups, going out and doing things. I'm pretty sarcastic and like to joke around a lot! I've spent many nights back home with 2 of my best friends, sitting in our car with junk food, in some parking lot or overlook at 1am, talking, listening to radio jazz and contemplating our suburban lives. Meanwhile, now that I've finished school, I'm back at home and trying to find my way in the employed world, applying to graduate schools, and enjoying the outdoors as much as possible. I am interested in the global conservation of amphibians and reptiles. I really want to make a difference on this Earth.

Surf. Host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed my first couch in Chicago, such a blast! I also unofficially hosted this kid I met at a show once, he was from Czech Republic and at the show and had no place to stay, so I drove him home and gave him a bed.
