Overview
About Me
I am a 23 year old botanist currently road tripping across the country east back to my family in Connecticut. I love music, trees and a good story.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because hotels are expensive and there’s minimal public land on the east coast and I enjoy the idea of meeting new people and being able to exchange life experiences and learn from each other.
Interests
My passions include learning every plant I come across, hunting for edible mushrooms, hiking to the top of tall mountains.
- hiking
- backpacking
- botany
Music, Movies, and Books
I travel with guitars and like to play folk and rock music mildly well. Currently reading Braiding Sweetgrass. Do not watch many movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiked the pacific crest trail
Teach, Learn, Share
Can teach about general biology and botany, have years of experience working and studying trees and flowers and is one of my largest passions. I am interested in anything people have expertise in, or good stories.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories of thousands of miles backpacking and hitch hiking throughout the USA. Original songs to perform on guitar as well as some covers of popular songs.
