CURRENT MISSION

Travel and connecting with new people.

ABOUT ME

I a am calm, pretty goofy, pretty laid back lady.
I currently work for as an outdoor educator, which means sometimes I'm teaching kiddos about the environment OR I'm feeding dead mice to predatory birds. I love my job but it doesn't leave a lot of room financially for extravagant travel. I'm at a point in my life that's transitional...I have little intention of settling down for now and I want to explore as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is huge and awesome and the opportunities for learning from other people and places are immense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but I'd like to surf now and eventually reciprocate the surfing when I have a place of my own. My job is on my company's property and makes it difficult for me to host, but it's not totally out of the question.

Interests

Love reading, hiking, biking, cooking! live and rowdy music! laughter! When I'm not working I like to be around friends. When I can't be around friends I garden, read, watch Broad City.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled around the globe for 3 months when I was in college. I visited many different countries in a short amount of time. It was crazy but awesome. On the same trip I saw the Northern lights in Norway!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to use a chainsaw, how to make rope out of grassy plants, how to knit a scarf.
