I'm currently studying entomology (bugs!) as a grad student at the University of Georgia, which is in Athens. It's a really cool town and you should hit me up if you're ever in the area! Unfortunately grad school is pretty time consuming, so I will not likely be able to travel until after I graduate. Let me live vicariously through you!

I have a 55 lb foster dog at the moment who is incredibly friendly and an aggressive cuddler. If you love dogs you will love him...but if you don't, be warned that he may jump into your lap and demand to be pet.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I went to Europe for six weeks and was fortunate enough to find gracious hosts for multiple of the cities I stayed in during that time. I must admit it was nice to save the money, but the opportunity to meet other like minded people with completely different world experiences was really the best part. I travel for the same reason that many others do-to gain new experiences, understand different cultures, and meet interesting people.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am extremely passionate about biology, especially bugs. You might think I'm weird because of it, but if you give me a chance maybe I can convince you how awesome they are. Don't worry, I don't (currently) have a pet spider or anything.
