I'm a Nevada desert rat through and through- was born in Reno, I study ecological restoration in the Great Basin and spend my free time exploring the Nevada desert. When at home I spend my time gardening and reading.

Teach, Learn, Share

My roommate and I can teach you about all the local plants and birds! We also collectively have a ton of books, and a lot about Nevada history and flora/fauna. I am a gardener and can show you around my garden, or if I'm travelling give you tips on your own garden/houseplants!
Always wanting to learn about anything and everything, please teach me what you know!
We share often at my house, so its likely there will be beer and food around so long as you reciprocate! And definitely would love to feed you if you are hosting me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am warm and friendly company, but am also introverted so understand the need for others space and privacy! Would love to provide food and beer for anyone kind enough to host. Can teach about plants and ecology. Also, would be thrilled to host anyone who is kind enough to host me and wants to check out the Reno/Tahoe area and the Nevada desert and the Sierra Nevadas.
