CURRENT MISSION

To use my time wisely.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a wee town in NY state, moved to England, then Canada the year after. I've been riding horses since I was a kiddo. I'm a rock loving geologist. I worked for an environmental consulting firm for a year and a half. I then retired from this work for a year. I'm now attending graduate school at Texas A&M.

I have way too much enthusiasm for most things and am honest and curious. I try to look at everything with wide eyes.

I have a positive outlook and usually a big smile.

PHILOSOPHY

I like being in new situations and picking little things to take with me in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in every ocean! The Arctic was cold and the Indian was hot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I could teach how to knit. And about rock things. That's more a share maybe. When I talk about rocks it's kind of like hearing a story from a little kid, with wide eyes, excitement and all. Sometimes I even squeal and shake my arms.
