I love microbes and their amazing abilities. I am currently a student at Appalachian State University pursuing my bachelors degree in Cell/Molecular biology with hopes to one day get my masters in microbiology. I intend on serving in the Peace Corps somewhere in Africa so that I may humble myself and teach others about science. I love exchanging stories over a few beers at a local bar and I am terrible at dancing. I played the saxophone in middle school but did not retain any musical abilities. I own a banjo that I perpetually contemplate learning how to play to no avail. I have been to Puerto Rico, all across the south eastern part of the United States, and Ohio. I have plans to travel to South Africa and I'd love to meet others who are looking to travel on a budget to other portions of the globe. I love this Earth and all of the creatures depending on it to survive. I do not like Trump and I love potatoes. Lets see what else.... Oh! I am also a vegan, but I do not judge others who do not share that dietary preference. That's about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who share the desire to travel and expand their minds through education and the various wonders that Earth has to offer. I would enjoy very greatly to bond in the moment with others to create lasting memories. I also really enjoy symbiotically exchanging information with others to enhance the education part of an international experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe travelling to Puerto Rico and dancing through the streets in the rain with my incredible companion Rachel was the fondest memory that I have.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk all day about DNA replication, RNA transcription and translation, microbes, scientific experiments, aromatic compounds, antibiotics, etc. However, I'd much rather do so after a couple of drinks or at the apex of a hike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship, education, food, beers, kindness, open-mindedness.
