I'm pursuing a career in environmental science by day and a Rover dog-sitter by night. I have been an Airbnb hostess and now have roommates, any guest that I host must be wary of our schedules. I like to hold conversations about practically anything and try to always have an open mind to learn new things or ways of doing things! I'm not originally from Charlottesville but would be glad to recommend nearby spots to eat and visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoyed hosting through airbnb for several months and gained a lot from the people I encountered; if I could offer a safe place for someone to land and get a taste of hosting once again then that would be ideal

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked a wildlife management area with a seasoned wildlife biologist in attempts to save a critically endangered ash tree population - along the way we identified rare tree and orchid species that thrive there only because of an "island effect"!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- maybe house plant pruning or propagation
Learn- languages, cooking styles, just about anything
Share- beers, laughter, and pursuit of happiness

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tend to your house plants or diagnose a declining tree (sometimes, trees are so complex)
A dry sense of humor over coffee
