I’d like to think I’m an adventurer and maybe even a travel addict. I was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in Austin, Texas. I am currently in the midst of a year off from work and traveling around the world before beginning my grad program in mental health therapy. Love to meet new people, do active things and have meaningful and deep conversations.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
To get around each country that I'm traveling through. Also, to meet extraordinary people and really dive into the culture of each country I'm visiting.
Muzyka, filmy i książki
A fan of most types of music, but very fond of indie folk and indie rock. As for movies I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, but everything else is quite alright.

Mountain biked the death road in Bolivia. What a thrill! White water rafted class 5 rapids in Chile. Cliff jumped from 15 meters in Guatemala. Bungee jumped in New Zealand. Caravanned through the red center of Australia. Swam with hammerheads in the Galapagos. Lived off the land in the Brazilian Amazon for a week. Summited Mt. Hallasan (Highest peak in Korea). Scootered across the island of Taiwan for a week. Hitchhiked from Armenia through Georgia and across Türkiye
Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
Absolutely love teaching children how to play frisbee and how to play respectfully with one another. Learning spanish and would be up for language exchange. Alguien ha intercambiador de idiomas? Can share endless amounts of travel stories, tips on places to visit, and all the knowledge I have gained from other travelers.
