About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to take jobs that allow me to experience new things and see new places. I've been doing historic preservation for the last 5 years. Now I'm hoping to get more into the conservation side of things. I love the outdoors and reading, and I'm very interesting in getting more into rock climbing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a working holiday visa and am hoping to get a position in one of the National Parks here. Until I get a job I plan on travelling with my partner who is just getting done with a season in Antartica.

Interests

I read 55 books last year, and I'm pretty proud! That definitely won't be happening again this year. I also recently took an outdoor rock climbing class where I learned a ton of new skills, so I'm excited to try some routes while I'm here.
