I'm a recent college grad figuring out my place(s) in the world. I've been a traveller since birth, essentially - lived in 10 states and Switzerland over the course of my 21 years.

I am an eco-minded person (scientifically and politically), and would love to debate pretty much anything about anything. Stoking brain fires is a serious passion of mine, but I can calm it down depending on the person I'm spending time with.

Currently thinking of building a competitively priced, local/natural/organic grocery store in WV. We'll see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting other free-spirited, open people! I also just love spending time at other humans' houses, it is an honor to be invited to stay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just finished my second ecology field season, studying bees/pollinators and Sky pilot (an alpine flowering plant) at 4 sites in Central/Northeastern Colorado.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to speak French - it's a solid piece of my brain at this point so you'll probably hear me say French things under my breath.
I can teach swimming, if that's an interest haha.
Learning desires... include pretty much anything. Give me your thoughts and your version of wisdom, I'll absorb them as best I can.
