ABOUT ME

I am from the Pacific Northwest. I moved to Australia when I was 19 and lived in Tasmania for 5 years after exploring New Zealand. I now work for the National Park Service in the U.S doing vegetation management and restoration and am humbled to call Yosemite my current home. I am an avid hiker, I thrive being outdoors. I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone. I love learning about new plants and will probably stop and look at weird plants I am unfamiliar with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for connections with local people that will enrich my travel experience. I am looking to exchange ideas, learn and grow from others, and connect to different people.
