I spend some time bartending, some time identifying frog calls from their soundwave, and some time using citizen science data to assess large scale trends in breeding ecology of Australian frogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have a more fulfilling experience while travelling through new places, and to offer others the chance to do the same.

Interests

Riding bikes, botany, making pie, eating pie, growing tomatoes, eating tomatoes,
running, dodging winter in the tropics, making pinatas, eating nachos, playing with other people's pets.
