I am PhD student in Ecology at Syracuse University and I am working on plant-herbivore interactions in grassland systems of East Africa. I like exploring new places and activities when I have time and have recently taken up photography. I enjoy pencil sketching and craft projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The thing I enjoy the most while visiting new places is getting to know people from the local community (and learning things about the place from them which no travel book or blog might offer). I believe couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people with different perspectives. Also, it helps me travel on my student budget!
