CURRENT MISSION

To give in a meaningful way.

ABOUT ME

I'm field biologist and work in conservation and restoration projects to help solve the environmental crisis we are facing right now. I love going out to natural settings to feel really alive. Camping, a nice hike in the woods, birding, are activities I do frequently.

I also play basketball and tennis and i'm skilled at both. I dance salsa in Cali and enjoy having some drinks. Most of the time i'm reading. The rest of the time i'm having meaningful conversations with friends. I also play the harmonica quite well.

PHILOSOPHY

Giving is my guiding principle. Courage is my principal virtue. I live in a state of gratitude.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because it's a community based on GIVING, the most powerful force in the world.
