I am a recently returned Peace Corps Volunteer from Tanzania where I worked as an environmental extension officer. Previously I've worked as a crew leader on trail projects, an outdoor educator, and have WOOFed in the United States, Japan and S.Korea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My richest traveling experiences tend to be the ones in which I'm living with locals, rather than just swooping through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working on a trail connecting Canada and the US with a view of both countries on either side of the ridge, filling my hardhat with wild blueberries during lunch breaks.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wombats have cubic poo so they don't roll down hills and can be used like a trail of breadcrumbs to help the wombat find its way back to the burrow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and am a very tidy person.
