My favorite animal is all animals and nobody can tell me that I can't pick that as a favorite.
I'm an aquatic scientist; I work with watersheds and fish.
If I could snowboard every single day, I would. Climbing and surfing are neat too.
I'm mostly a minimalist or at least I try.
I like to grow plants and food. I collect and make collages out of wildflowers and other things from nature.
I also really really really really really love Canada. And dogs.

I've lived in Michigan, Hawaii, Alaska, Idaho, Washington and Scotland! If you've got any plans to go to any of those places I can give you tons of tips!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Why wouldn't I be on couchsurfing?!?!! But for real, I've almost always had great experiences on here. I've hosted a lot more than I've surfed and am hoping to soon be living a place where I can host again.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I took a really cool trip to New Zealand and hiked something like 300ish km in 5.5 weeks.

I also met a really cool couple from Belgium in Hawaii that let my boyfriend and I ride around in the back of their truck for a week. We went to some sweet off the grid camping spots. They came to visit us when we were living in Detroit 6 months later & we took them to the Belgian feather bowling club in Detroit where they got to speak Flemish for the first time in almost the nine months they'd been traveling. Seems simple, but maybe simple is best.
