I am studying Fishery Resources at the University of Idaho, but currently I on a year-long exchange in the wonderful land of Costa Rica. Goal: to use what I know about fisheries to go into the field of river restoration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am living and traveling in Costa Rica, and would like to be able to actually stay with the people of this lovely land and not spend all my time in hostels. I spent a month and a half couch surfing through Peru, and it was one of the best experiences I have had.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have volunteered as a Steelhead in the Classroom mentor where we helped a second grade class raise 100 steelhead from eggs. The best part was bringing in giant steelhead for the kids to dissect. It was messy, smelly, and awesome to see how much fun they had learning about fish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love speaking Spanish and cooking.
