Hello! I'm a plant-powered, born-and-raised farm kid from upstate New York!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Growing up, my family always hosted exchange students in our home. They brought the world to us. Now it’s my turn to bring my part of the world to you!

I am hoping grow as a person by meeting new people and challenging my norms.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Celebrated life in August 2019 by hiking a 3,000m mountain in Linthal, Switzerland in the rain and snow with my Couchsurfing host, Dani. We ascended 2,000m vertical distance in one day! Never underestimate your abilities!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I love talking about the interconnectedness of species. I’m educated in veterinary technology, molecular biology, and modern dance.

Learn: Anything and everything! If you speak multiple languages, I’m particularly interested in how you find similarities and differences between them.

Share: I’ll bring wine! Let me do the dishes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I am visiting you in North America, I can bring you a piece of my wine collection from the Finger Lakes. Particularly, I have a few pet nat bottles I’d love to share along with our stories.

Please, let me do the dishes!
