I'm a biologist working in wildlife conservation and science policy. I recently finished my PhD in Australia and travel often to do fieldwork in the rainforest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world that I wouldn't have met in my everyday life. I enjoy learning about other cultures and places and sharing my own experiences and stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I discovered a frog that was thought to be extinct! I've also been bitten by a viper in the rainforest and airlifted by a black-hawk helicopter once...that was a really long day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you more than you ever wanted to know about frogs! (and other animals too!). And I certainly have a fair share of crazy travel stories from my past 15 years working in rainforests in the Congo, Madagascar, Honduras, etc....
