自我介绍

I am an adventurous and curious person with diverse interests. I have lived in Las Cruces, New Mexico for the past eleven years, but I grew up in Germany and spent my first nine years in the U.S. in Oklahoma, Virginia, and Arizona. I love to travel and have been fortunate to explore countries on five continents. Nature is my sanctuary and so, when possible, I am outdoors hiking, camping, and trail riding. I also do search and rescue, mostly in wilderness settings. That said, I truly enjoy spending time at home as well. I like to read mysteries, play board games, cook, build things, and hang out with my friends, family, and pets. I'm a geography professor who researches and teaches the dynamic interactions between people and the environment by integrating a variety of data and methods. Whether as guest or host, I look forward to meeting you, if you are interested and available.
