About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Break out of my protective Seattle shell

ABOUT ME

I am a nature-loving and energetic biologist, prone to frequent bouts of nerdiness by naming plants according to their latin designations and applying biological principles to social situations. I am extremely concerned about the health and future of our natural world, and do all I can to limit my impact on the environment. Having spent most of my life in the state of Washington, I am looking forward to traveling and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The most memorable experiences that I have had while traveling have been due to the people I have met and those that have been kind enough to share their living space with me. My hope then is that I can provide this same experience for some other traveler with a clean, happy and healthy place to stay. In return, I hope to learn about other cultures: their food, language and ideas.
