My next destination:
New Zealand - from Nov 2024 until Oct 2025 View all
Description
I have a degree in Marine Biology from UCSB and have worked in fisheries research for the past 2 years in the Pacific Northwest of the US. I recently spent 2 months in Bali working as a teacher's aide for a marine biology focused study abroad program and have made my way to New Zealand to explore the country's beautiful landscapes and culture. I love hiking, swimming, beach combing, tide pooling, taking pictures of wildlife (I'm really bad about keeping up with posting my latest but my IG is @jde.jpg), flying my drone, cooking, baking, and experiencing new things.
