Currently I am keeping pretty busy working, but always will make time for outdoor recreation and travel. I work at an outdoor education school, so basically I hike around with 5th and 6th grade students and talk about our natural surroundings. I love ecology! On the weekends I work at a newly opened cafe making delicious coffee drinks and serving tables. Reading, music, sports, and food are a few of my wholesome staples in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an adventurous person and love a good road trip. Sharing stories, laughter, drinks, insight, and all the finer things in life are moments that I look forward to. I would like to venture out and see more of the West Coast landscape. I also grew up near the mountains, so I tend to gravitate towards those inclines. Really though, I'm becoming more and more of beach body by the day!

Interests

People! Places! The environment! I'm also interested in nutrition and new health trends that are scouring the market. I try to keep up to date with current events, but fall on the shorter side of that. I like plays by Shakespeare. Also, singing in the car and dancing while I cook are things in life that I believe everyone should try to do at max capacity, and often.

Music, Movies, and Books

I pretty much like all music, especially a good album. Some of my favorite movies are Jurassic Park, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Elf, Billy Maddison, .The Hunger Games. I enjoy reading fiction, books on theories or trends

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered for a noninvasive jaguar research project in Northern Belize when I was in college. I worked with 2 other research technicians, the woman working on her P.h.D, a Geneticist, local guides and instructors, and a scat detector dog named Bruiser. I traveled in June and July, so during the dry and rainy season, where there is a lot of activity going on in a secondary jungle!

Teach, Learn, Share

"The human body is 90% water so we're basically just cucumbers with anxiety" - some science person somewhere.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy cooking and sharing teas! I also like to find local trails to hike or places to explore. I'm a happy helper and love animals if you have them!
