CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I live for adventures, big or small, and good conversation. I like to experience new places through the lens of a local. I enjoy art, fashion, travel, music, writing, and self exploration. I am always on a journey in some way. I love nature - I studied plants at university and regularly nerd out about science. I am a teacher in the states, so I am constantly learning and sharing and growing. I'm into sustainability and connecting our increasingly urban lifestyles back to the natural world.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is an Adventure.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I prefer couchsurfing because it offers a local perspective on a new place. I appreciate human interaction, good conservation, and unique experiences. I have only surfed at this point mostly because my previous state was not much of a travel destination. Moving soon and really hoping to host!!

Teach, Learn, Share
I am a science teacher, I'm full of 'fun facts' about life. I studied plants and soil, I know things about the earth most people don't!
Always looking to expand my horizons and knowledge. I want to learn different languages, so help me! (I'll be a bit shit at it most likely, but practice makes perfect!)
Sharing is caring. 😊
