*currently traveling and not in New Zealand

I am an ethnobotanist and herbalist. I received my undergrad at University of Vermont in Environmental Studies and my masters in Ethnobotany at University of Kent in Canterbury, England. Currently gearing up to apply to be a National Geographic Explorer. I love plants and exploring this beautiful world. I play ukulele and guitar, so happy to jam with anyone. Love seeing live music, surfing, hiking, cooking plant based foods. Happy to send my Instagram account for verification. Travel the world working with indigenous cultures and plants, as well as, work as a journalist - I produced a video piece for Vice News Tonight in New Zealand and my written piece will be online soon.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Just shake things up sometimes and meet like-minded people in new areas. I am extremely open to learning new languages and exchanging cultural tradition.
