ABOUT ME

I'm from suburbia Chicago, and have lived in several states, moving as a seasonal employee to each new adventure. I have worked on many outdoor research projects, mostly with wetlands or wildlife, which means I have spent many, many hours in mud boots and chest waders. It's been a while since I've had an international adventure, but I love meeting people from all over the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have spent many nights as a couch/spare room/floor/tent in the backyard surfer over my travels. I always seek to be a respectful guest, and I hope that you don't mind learning more about birds!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been blessed with many amazing experiences. One that comes to mind is being able to cruise on an airboat across the Everglades at sunrise for work. What a cool place!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to tie knots, like for sailing and hitching a horse. I would love to go on a sailing trip some day.
