I grew up in Montara, California but have been living in Brooklyn, New York for the past 3 years. I work in the insect collections at the American Museum of Natural History. I will be going back to school in the fall to pursue a graduate degree. Between now and then, I plan to travel the western United States with my boyfriend, exploring beautiful national parks, meeting new people, and hopefully seeing the northern lights!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite parts about traveling is meeting new people and Couchsurfing provides a fun and easy way to do this.
