Human being that's positive, enthusiastic, and interested in many things.

I just finished my graduate course work as a School Psychologist and look forward to supporting underserved inner city youth. I have lived in St. Louis for the past 7 years and have explored most of the Midwest. I am looking to relocate on the west coast and ultimately camp at higher elevations. I have stuck mostly to a plant based diet for a year and enjoy discussing the ways in which we use this planet to feed ourselves. I am highly interested in sustainability, urban farming, community development, education, and progressive ways to live together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore this beautiful world and meet the people who inhabit it.

Interests

I enjoy being outside playing frisbee, running, biking, practicing yoga, hiking, camping, and soaking in the sun. I cook, drink beer, go to thrift stores, spin records, and play board games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have biked across the great states of Missouri and Iowa. I hope to one day ride across the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a life long learner and find great interest in many things in life. I have been called the most positive person in the world as I tend to highlight the strengths of situations. I enjoy challenging people's perspectives and offering a different views to familiar situations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The food and drinks in my fridge, the company of my cat, a car ride, a bicycle, the shirt off my back, you name it. I have two couches, lots of floor space, and I am even willing to give up my bed.
