CURRENT MISSION

To experience, learn, feel, see, laugh, love and live.

ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate student at the University of British Columbia (I used to study at the University of California Santa Cruz). I've studied marine biology, marine ecology and evolutionary ecology in Belize, Ecuador, the Galapagos, and Micronesia. I'm originally from the Washington, D.C. area, and I've been an environmental and social justice activist since circa 2006 (focusing particularly on ocean conservation and drug policy issues). In addition to all that, I'm also a mom, writer, feminist, music enthusiast and adventurer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I previously couchsurfed during a road trip through the American south (in the summer of 2011). I met a lot of amazing people and saw some incredible things, and in the process fell in love with the Couchsurfing community. I am not currently in the position to host, but I would love to meet people as they come into town and possibly show folks around.
