CURRENT MISSION

To learn: about myself, about others

ABOUT ME

I work at a charity in Seattle, WA, where I use my scientific skills to make grants to researchers helping children in the developing world. It is my dream job.

Another of my true passions is traveling. I've been to many countries, most by myself. I am addicted to new cultures, new things, new drinks, new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been out of the game now for a bit, but have had great times with the CS community is Iasi, Romania, Rhodes, Greece, Saskatoon, Canada, and Brazil (Manaus and Porto Vehlo).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed for a few days Romania, Canada, and Brazil. I've also hung out with the communities in Romania, Greece, and the US. Sadly, I have had roommates my entire life that are not as open to hosting as I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've sat in huts on many continents, many countries, looked into the eyes of the farmers that live there, and smiled.

A sunset in the Sahara literally dropped me to my knees.
