Hello! I am from the United States in Colorado and study Forest Entomology at my university. I am currently in Germany for an internship over the summer, and have never had the opportunity to leave the states, so I am trying to get in a decent amount of traveling in while I’m here! I love getting outside to see the landscape but also the native plant and insect diversity 🪲 I like to do art, listen to music, and have a good time- often with some beer. One of my favorite things in life is meeting new people that are real and down to earth, and when I end up making natural connections. Pair that with learning the culture and soul of new places and you can’t beat it (:

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am trying to experience as much traveling as I can with my time off this summer with limited funds. I’ve never been out of the states before because I could never afford it but my internship paid for my ticket to Europe this year! I also love connecting with people and meeting locals to learn to vibe of a city and to explore. I love making new connections and having real conversation. I’m new to all of this and am looking for some experiences (:

音乐、电影和书籍

Ahhh I love most music it would be hard to explain what I like but some current favorites are Hiatus Kaiyote, Nick Shoulders, Funkadelic, Shakey Graves, St. Paul and the broken bones- idk I like psych rock, funk, blues, folk, bluegrass, punk, cowboy music and whatever is in between. I love exchanging playlists and finding new music.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I got this internship in Germany over the summer! I also currently am conducting my own research project at home on long horned beetles and wildfire- you can ask me about if it you’re interested but I can talk about other topics besides insects as well 😂

教，学，和分享

I can teach insect ID and collection haha maybe some art, I also play the violin, and make kombucha? I suppose those are skills. I’m always open to learning.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can typically share a good conversation and good time 💚 also music, art, science, some herbalism and tarot if you’re into that. My travel experiences are few but I have experience in science 🪲 I am in Europe for the summer but am open to hosting once I get home.
