When I’m not in the lab or in the woods, I’m probably biking, making good food, watching/playing football or jamming

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like one of my friends, Brad, I met through Couchsurfing said, “The knowledge of a local and the curiosity of a visitor makes for a good time.”

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Some artists I’ve been listening to recently are Real Estate, Bon Iver, Devendra Banhart, and Vulfpeck. I like watching movies and reading books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a dugout canoe down a river with four others in the Panamanian bush that emptied into Mosquito Bay.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach people how to identify fungi (at least to genus) and would love to share things about ecology.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and share food and I have a flexible diet
