I'm a science journalist currently working at a nature magazine in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I'm obsessed with animals - preferably living ones, but I'm interested in carcasses too. That's what I'm writing a book about.

I love outdoor recreation, art, exploring, learning, and social media. My TikTok account, which focuses on finding animal bones, has 171,000 followers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to get a broader view of the world, as I haven't left the US and Canada in 10 years.

I'm also writing a book about animal remains, and would love to see how different cultures approach animal death, including for food, clothing, culture, science, etc.
