I'm 23, working full time and attending school for a degree in biology. I manage a commercial fish house and am fairly invested in the seafood industry.

I grew up in Florida, went to a Waldorf high school in New Hampshire, and moved back down to the beach. I've been managing a commercial fish house and getting a degree in biology (which I'm finishing up shortly!) I love anything that will keep me on the water! I do miss the nature of rural New Hampshire and when I travel I greatly enjoy backpacking and hiking over cities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well meeting new people, of course! I think that meeting new people goes hand in hand with travel, and sharing a home or experience with someone makes for a more interesting trip. Bast on my past travels, the best stories come from people you meet along the way. Across the UK that was through hostels and couchsurfing, in Iceland it was from all the wonderful people who picked us up hitchhiking and all the places we saw because of advice from locals or fellow travelers wanting to share the experience. I think CS is a great community and an example of good in the world.

Interests

Although free time has been scarce recently, I love scuba diving and spearfishing, hiking, soccer, rollerblading, and most things that keep me on the beach, along with painting and reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Flowers for Algernon, Cats Cradle, The Hobbit, Five People you Meet in Heaven,
Music...whatever is playing is great!
Not a big movie buff, but TV shows I've watched recently include Breaking Bad, The OA, Big Mouth...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a month backpacking across northern England, Scotland and Ireland with my two best friends. One of my favorite trips I've taken and I look forward to more opportunities like that one! We met some awesome people couchsurfing and that was a huge highlight of the trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a Russian card game, how to knit, or how to fillet a fish.
Happy to share a home-cooked meal!
