I am a recent Zoology graduate fascinated by the natural world and interested in understanding as much about it as I possibly can. I love the out doors and am very easy going and friendly. I have travelled and bit and enjoy connecting with other people in the places I travel to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am doing a research internship at the Smithsonian Museum and my accommodation with a friend is a lot further out of town than I first expected and causing all sorts of commuting problems to the Museum. I was hoping a kind soul who lives closer to the city or a metro station might take me in for some time while I'm doing my internship. Of course I am also very eager to get to know some locals and hear about the city from their perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A night dive at a shipwreck on the Galapagos Islands. There was bioluminescent algae that night we went scuba diving so at 15m with the lights off it looked like we were swimming in a sea of stars. Swimming amongst silhouetted far corals, sponges and playful sea lions at night was a beautiful sight I will never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have so many cool animal facts for anyone who is interested!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversation a cheery and helpful disposition. I am more than happy to help out around the house, cook etc. I want this to be more of an exchange than a favour :)
