I'm a recent biology graduate travelling to study insects around the world! While I learn the plants and insects around me, I love making new friends to share it all with. I love hiking (particularly where mountains are involved), cooking, catching bugs, birding, singing, and exploring the cultures around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Studying insects around the world calls for a tight budget and I hope to make the best of this by meeting new people couch-surfing. Friends have recommended it before and I'm excited to see where it takes me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My project on ethnoentomology and what I've learned from my travels so far. I'm happy to photograph and identify any insects that I can to give you a reference of what species are in your area.

I'm happy to cook for my hosts as well. My specialty's are quiches, stir fry, chili, and making something out of nothing!
