I graduated from Iowa State University in 2014 and since then have done trail work for a variety of organizations all over the United States. My latest adventure was working for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. I got to be apart of an amazing trail crew and live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet! Currently I'm pursuing my Masters Degree in Forest Resources at the University of Maine. I like to live a pretty rugged lifestyle, but grad school keeps me tame for now. I love being outdoors in any way shape or form and on the weekends I make my way to the nearest mountain, body of water, or campground to get my fix.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
