I have to update my full profile - but hi, I’m Shelby! I used to very active during the 2010s, but not as much now. I enjoy weekend trips and exploring what my neighboring cities have to offer. I'm a researcher in the energy/utilities field and have a huge interest in urbanism, sustainability, biking, and mapping.

I'm a mom to a happy 1-year old and married to my husband, Benji (in my profile picture!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for future friends, connections, and couches to sleep on!

Interests

I used to volunteer at a local urban garden and teach children how to optimize their lives through basic engineering principles. It sounds kind of nerdy lol but it's really fun! I enjoy cooking food and sharing :') I used to play the piano when I was younger and I'm trying to get back into playing again. I have a road bike and love riding!!
