Hi! I'm Caitlin. I've recently graduated from ASU with a B.S. in Conservation Biology & Ecology. I love all things including soil, food, cats (dogs, too!), and yoga. I'm really passionate about digging up dirt (literally) and am ideally going to continue my education in soil science. I also love cooking--it's my therapy! I have 3 cuddly kitties who will occasionally stretch with me when I do yoga on the living room floor. When I'm not playing in the dirt, eating, cooking, playing with my cats, or practicing yoga, I am biking, strength-training, hiking, or anything active!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I am free from the grips of college, I am ready to start exploring! I'm also looking forward to meeting and befriending travelers who are looking to visit Arizona.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure if I can teach much, but I am sure I can learn about your culture, interests, and philosophies. In return, I will share the same :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a couch (pull-out couch: coming soon!), cat cuddles (if you want them), beautiful October-May weather, great hiking, incredible bouldering sites, delicious home-cooked meals, friendly conversation, and a safe environment
