I'm majoring in bio (ecology and evolution), and minoring in education. I think I want to become a teacher someday; I've been a swim instructor for some time and I really love to work with kids. I also love being outdoors and I am a staff person with the Excursion Club at UCSB. Check out the website, it's really cool!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I haven't been feeling inspired by school for some time now and I feel that by travelling I can accomplish and learn more than if I finish my degree as fast as I can.

Interessen

Anything outdoors. I can't get enough of it. I like to hike, camp, snowboard, wakeboard, and generally play on rocks or in the ocean. If you hit me up, I will probably be down. When I'm indoors, you might find me watching cooking shows or a tv show/movie in French or Spanish.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Buddhism: Plain & Simple was the first book I ever read about Buddhism and really helped open me up to new ideas, people and experiences. It's extra special since my dad gave it to me. I also really enjoy listening to electronic music. I like exploring soundcloud and finding new songs/mixes to either sit back and relax or to get amped while I'm in the shower.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

You might have noticed that in my picture I'm wearing a fluffy yellow suit of some kind. Well, last year on the weekend before Halloween I participated in a bungee jump costume contest. So I bought a mascot-esque chicken costume, and jumped off a bridge while wearing it (I won). Since then, I thought it'd be funny to wear it and take pictures in it (instagram: @deepfriedchick), and I even wore it at Burning Man (that's the picture that you see, but I didn't take very many pictures there, and none with the head unfortunately). So it's not really amazing, but now I explained the picture I chose and you learned more about me, so two birds one stone.
