CURRENT MISSION

To study plants and meet interesting people!

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing person who loves to meet new people! I was born in Louisiana but didn't kick up too much dirt there before moving to Alabama. I moved to Seattle, WA to go to school and then worked in the research department at the same school. I'm currently in a transition period in my life as I just finished a series of trips. I managed to pick up 9 corporate sponsors and solo paddled the 650 mile Alabama Scenic River Trail. I cataloged medicinal plants along the way. I also just got back from Brazil and Peru. I'm currently picking up work in Birmingham to renew the old piggy bank. Trying to learn Portuguese!

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
