We are explorers at heart who have a love of the natural world and inquisitive minds for history, politics, anthropology, art, and sciences of all kinds. We are wildlife biologists who have worked on many projects that aim to conserve threatened animal species. We also love good music and good books, dark chocolate and dark beer, and kind and interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My partner, Patrick, and I are on a year-long trip around the world. We love staying with Couchsurfing hosts because it allows us to learn about new places from locals, who know their area best and make the culture come alive. We strive to experience the world more as travelers than tourists, and are looking forward to sharing our home with wanderers from across the globe.
