I got my first taste of travel backpacking in South Africa and have been exploring the world ever since. I just recently graduated from university where I studied environmental earth science and biology. I hope to soon be teaching environmental education for 10-18 year olds on Catalina Island. I am stoked to finally be cut loose from classroom learning and start learning directly from the world! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet amazing people around the world :)

Interests

I love anything that gets me outside and pushes my limits. I crave beautiful views and I have a soft spot for slam poetry, used book stores, theater, playing/hearing music, crochet, painting, and other crafts. I love to hike, create, read, and talk.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, share meals, and talk about life experiences. I promise to leave the place cleaner than I found it and am eager to help out wherever possible. Take me on your favorite hike and I can talk your ear off about plants. Take me dancing and I'll show you some of my moves. Give me something to build with my hands. I love to learn, create, and try new things!
