ABOUT ME

Hello couchsurfers of the world! I am an energetic and friendly newly-graduated geologist excited to experience the world before I get a real life job!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one?!

While working and visiting a friend in southern Chile, we kayaked from the station where we were living to the Cahuelmo hotsprings in the next fjord over. The kayak trip was about 20km and took about 6 hours mostly through a bumpy sea. We were exhausted when we finally arrived at the hot pools which have a beautiful view of the fjord. The apples and peanut butter never tasted better! We left early at high tide, and watched the sea lion colony who inhabit the fjord. It was amazing to be so close to so many large animals; we saw hundreds of them! Such a memorable experience!!

Teach, Learn, Share

My current goal is to learn Spanish and practice my French, so conversation would be beneficial. Also, I love to cook and learning new dishes is always interesting to me. I love music and am trying to learn guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share some laughs, riddles and geology trivia. Would be happy to teach/practice English with you. I love crafting, so let's knit or make bracelets!
