Hey there! The Couchsurfing is very new to me, but I am very excited to join the community! My educational background is in environmental studies and biology. I have done informal environmental education and conservation trail work like building rustic timber bridges. I love to be outside whether it be hiking, biking, wandering around a town, playing ultimate or volleyball. I adopted a puppy in December 2018! She's a 16-pound Pug/Yorkshire terrier/Affenpinscher mix who's friendly and loves to hike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For one, I love the sense of community and connecting, sharing, and learning from one another. The other reason is reciprocity. I believe in exchange of kindness, gratitude, thoughts, creations, etc.
