CURRENT MISSION To protect Mother Earth and make sure that every creature on this planet has the clean air, water, and environment that we all deserve. ABOUT ME I have been called a hippie and a tree hugger, but I prefer to think that I just love the earth like any sane person should. I want to work with orangutan conservation and rehabilitation once I make it through my undergraduate degree and my masters. This has been my dream since 4th grade. I enjoy just about anyone's company and love a good adventure! PHILOSOPHY A raunchy version of "No regrets, only love".
Interested in Animals
Fluent in English
Learning Indonesian

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love to go out and sight-see! Ames might be a college town, but we have several really great bars, wonderful campus-based museums, and a beautiful botanical garden.
Music, Movies, and Books
I'll go for anything but those gross hack and slash movies like Saw.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The protesting around the streets of DC was pretty awe-inspiring as well. All the times in Indonesia has been amazing. South Asia in general, honestly. I've also worked with lemurs at the Omaha Zoo as an intern, volunteered at the (previously) Great Ape Trust,and worked as a volunteer at a wildlife care clinic etc, etc.
My Interests
I love all sorts of animals, all sorts of people, and a totally spontaneous adventure. I love to read. I've been on a science fiction and biography kick lately, but I'll read just about anything. I have an equal passion for good food mixed with good company.
