I have a voracious appetite for travel and new experiences. I have seen a fair amount of the US doing different biological field work. I can't wait to see more of the world, and learn from those who are generous enough to be hospitable to a stranger. I am generally more reserved, but enjoy good company and a hearty laugh. I am very laid back and flexible. I love the outdoors, and adventure activities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great tool for traveling and meeting new people! It's helpful in discovering new events/happenings in an area. I have used it to crash some couches a few times, but I mostly enjoy how it can be used to bring people together and foster community!
