CURRENT MISSION

To live, love, laugh and make the world a better place

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing, open-minded, curious and optimistic person. I love to explore the diversity of all things: nature, culture, people, relationships, experiences, perceptions, sensations and possibilities.

My work as an ecologist and conservation biologist currently has me working primarily in the rainforests of South America.

PHILOSOPHY

Living in the present

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm mostly surfing at this point although I have hosted in the past and will resume doing so when I next have my own place. I embrace the spirit of giving of which couchsurfing is a part.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have crashed on many a couch/floor/roof/hammock/garden/boat in my time.
