I'm a marine biologist who loves travelling and a good book. Attenborough wannabe. All-around shark science lover.

Non-smoker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to be travelling to a few locations for scientific conferences and believe CouchSurfing would be the best way to learn about local cultures. I'm also really excited about the idea of making new friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to nurse baby manatees back to health, swim amongst sharks, look at the milky way under two different hemisphere and travel the world and experience so many other wonderful things.

Teach, Learn, Share

As someone with a graduate degree in science, I'm happy to discuss higher education topics with my hosts. I'm always open to learning new things, too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love learning new things and have great listening skills. With a good cup of tea (or a cold drink) in my hand, I'd love to talk for hours about your life experiences!

I was also a chef for a little while, so I'd be happy to cook, and clean around the house to thank you for your hospitality. I like a good party, but I also enjoy the outdoors or a relaxed night in.
