ABOUT ME

I work as a lab tech, making sure students don't hurt themselves
I studied genetics
I fence competitively
I live with my husband, Chris
My favourite book is Ender's game, but there is a long list of others.
Defenestrate is a fun word
I have a love of chicken wings that boarders on unhealthy

PHILOSOPHY

the golden rule has served me pretty well over the years, and i figure that it's all that you really need.

I try to keep an open mind while trying to be realistic. Pragmatic.

I live my life a little out there, because it would be too boring not to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still a comparative newbie, but I've had a couple of really great surfing experiences. Have yet to host much, but shall see!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed with a bunch of very awesome people for my fencing tournaments and road trips

Interests

well, I mentioned most of this above, but here it is again!
fencing, which is one of the best things I have ever gotten involved with.
Baking and cooking are lots of fun, but I have the time to do them as much as I'd like.
music - I used to play the flute and to a lesser extent the piano, and am pretty rusty at both. Trying to learn banjo, currently, though it needs more time than I have to give it.
SCIENCE! :D
I also like playing D&D, twilight imperium, and a variety of board games

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have dissected an emu. It was with my 4H group when I was 11. They were always giving us things to dissect to help teach us about whatever part of the anatomy we were learning about at the time, and a local farmer had one that died so he decided to donate it to us.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh this is so cool! :D
well I know a whole lot of sciency whatnot (especially about viruses).
I also know how to make really good chocolate malted whopper drops (which are a kind of cookie) and sour cream pancakes, though let me know ahead of time so I can bring the recipe.
I'm good at modeling things out of clay, though I've never tried to teach that to anyone.

I would love to teach you the basics of fencing, but I likely wouldn't have my foils with me so we could only get so far
I can also teach you how to do "the lawnmower"

I would like to learn to play guitar and drums.
I would like to know more about parkour
I would like to eat a tasty dish that i have never tried before
