Hello! I am a young, recent graduate with my Master's in ecohydrology. After graduation, I completed my first bicycle tour, traveling from Vancouver, B.C. to Santa Cruz, CA. I had a great time, and especially enjoyed my stays with couch surfing hosts! Now I have retired my bicycle back home in Arizona and am setting out via train, plane, and automobile to see more of the country and abroad!

I am most excited to learn about different cultures, taste new cuisines, shake my tail feathers to some new music and bands, practice yoga in new environments, and any other wild adventure, whether in the countryside or city. I get along well with dogs, cats, horses, and other animal friends, and look forward to making many new friends!

Happy trails! :D

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing to meet new and interesting folks, and to experience the local flavor of each place I visit. Also once I am stationary again, I am excited to host travelers so that I may continue to meet new travelers!

教，学，和分享

Although I completed degrees in geology and ecohydrology, I am still learning these subjects. Now I am learning through traveling, and am eager to share my scientific awareness of landscapes, and to learn from those along my path. My soul finds satisfaction through this constant teaching, learning, and sharing process.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Earth science knowledge, quirky humor, a great smile and hug, culinary skills, a listening ear, a good drinking buddy, a zen yoga partner, and someone to chat about science, philosophy, and beyond!
