I'm a geographer and love exploring new places. I live in Menomonie Wisconsin where I teach at UW Stout. I also do research about people's relationship with the land and how we can manage our natural resources in fair and sustainable ways.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

A couple of friends have had lots of good experiences with couchsurfing so I thought I would give it a try. I like to get to know new places and local people are the best way to get to know an area.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

This seems like bragging, but getting my PhD was pretty tough. Also, I worked at a lot of amazing jobs in my 20s, as a naturalist, park ranger, and science educator.
