I am am a science educator originally from the Midwest who is getting ready for grad school in ecological restoration. I love meeting new people and learning about their experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of traveling is the people you meet. I am on couch surfer to have a personal connection when I travel. I don't need to hang out with a host the whole time, but I will be hoping to have at least one chance to grab coffee, tea, or your beverage of choice with you to hear about your story and learn what life is like in your corner of the world.

Interests

Birds, bikes, beets, superheroes, politics and more! I love hiking and birding, vegetarian cooking, science facts and science fiction.
