CURRENT MISSION

Learn a lot, then give it back.

ABOUT ME

I am an environmentalist who is interested in living with a small footprint on the planet. I studied environmental science and policy and have been working at a small NGO on sustainable agriculture and international development issues. Now, I've returned to the academia bubble in hopes of becoming seriously over-educated and indebted, while still seeing cool places and bettering the planet on which we live! Into gardening, outdoors, reading, and baking ridiculous vegan goodies far too often.

PHILOSOPHY

Tread lightly, do what you enjoy, and value the the immaterial!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just rejoining the CS Project, and hope to get involved more. At this moment in my life, I am still at a crossroad and have no couch to offer up. But, someday soon, I hope to return the favours...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very little, but all in Switzerland! But I am interested in meeting new friends, rather than simply finding a room for the night. In my previous experiences, the best part has been cooking dinners together!

Interests

I love the outdoors, running, swimming, biking, hiking, etc. Low-key, likes hanging out and talking with small groups of people, etc. Crossword puzzles, fictional novels, baking and baking blogs!
