CURRENT MISSION

To travel. To write. To escape. I can't stay grounded too long.

ABOUT ME

Riverkeeper for the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation (can visit www.CatawbaRiverkeeper.org) after finishing grad school at Chapel Hill (marine sciences, researching rivers and climate change). I was a journalism major, but also did marine science (geochemistry) research through undergrad. Writing-related jobs weren't big when I graduated, so I went the science route. I really miss writing, so I am developing an extensive travel writing site. So show me the fun a place can have!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm all over the place. I'll put it this way: three cross-country trips in a year. I'm getting addicted to them. They're therapeutic.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot and am curious to explore surfing, especially since locals know an area so much better. I've heard nothing but good things about couch surfing and want to be a part of it!

兴趣

Travel, writing, skiing, hiking, football, driving (I love cross-country trips). I did 3 cross-country road trips in 2011 along a middle, northern, and then southern route. Best trips ever.

音乐、电影和书籍

Everything. For music, I love mash-ups and most every genre. Incubus is probably my favorite band. Daft Punk, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Keys (especially the mash-up with Big Boi), etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

First time seeing the Grand Canyon. I felt dizzy. But overall, roadtrips have been the best way to see any and everything across the country.
