Description
Howdy, I’m a 27 year old Entomologist from California, USA and I'm backpacking through SE Asia in search of wholesome, authentic people to adventure the new places with! I am most passionate about flipping rocks to find bugs, exploring street markets and camping somewhere the stars are brightest at night. I’m backpacking for several years for the sake of personal growth, making meaningful connections around the world and just being outside my comfort zone.
🦋
I started my journey in Monteverde, Costa Rica where I worked as a butterfly tour guide for several months educating guests on the importance of insects in our ecosystem. I loved that so much I wish to find similar locations where I can settle for a month or so, connect with the locals/land/culture, and truly contribute to efforts made by local communities in preserving nature through grassroots efforts.
🦋
I have no timeline and go with the flow so I look forward to meeting some unique people and working in truly eye opening organizations:)

My time with Kelly and his family were filled with kindness, learning and peace. Kelly's home is situated a short bus ride away from the main town so you get to stay at a quiet location where his family grows many vegetables, flowers and farm animals! Kelly taught me so much about the rich culture in Eastern Highlands Province and connected me to… read more

My experience at this Workaway was a true pleasure every day I was in the gardens. A general day to day in my experience required you to be open to social interactions with diverse nationalities, short breaks cuddling the 3 doggies (Betty, Stella and Bella), educating guests on the wonders of butterflies, another break of petting the dogs, and… read more
