I'm very laid back but have a curious mind. After college I took a break to kayak and run a greenhouse, several sad events the past few years have left me feeling restless so I have quit my jobs and am going on the road. I'm still a happy person, full of smiles and love to bring joy to other people, I just need a change of scenery for a bit! I am more interested in enjoying nature than a night out partying (but I'd still love to see your favorite bar). Good food is the secret to a good life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience a new way of travel! To meet new people wherever I visit. I've stayed in hostels before where I make friends with other travelers and explore, but I love the idea of making friends with a local!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm full of information on ecology and nutrition! Also can help care for any houseplants (pest management, fertilizing, repotting).
