I currently live in Colorado Springs, CO, and will be moving to Seaside, OR in early September! I am a photographer, volleyball player, and I love to meet new people and explore new places. Being in new places and talking to those who live there really gives me a sense of the community, and I believe that relationships are the most important thing a person can invest their time into, as it can be very fulfilling. New areas also get my "creative juices" going, while helps me see places in artistic ways, which results in the photographs I take. I was raised in a military family, so I have moved around a lot, finally residing in Colorado for the last 13 years. I am the only one in my family still living in Colorado Springs, so I am ecstatic to have an opportunity to move to Oregon, a place I have always seen myself living. I am in need of change, and direction in a new city that I could possibly be living in soon, so I'm excited to meet anyone that is willing to host me, and take any suggestions for sight seeing, places to eat, or people to meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught myself photography completely on my own. While taking a year off of school, I still wanted to be learning and teaching myself things I thought could better myself in different ways, so I taught myself how to shoot in manual mode on camera. Since then I have grown and improved my craft, and hope to find work in photography in my new home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and share a lot about photography if a host would like to know, and I would love to learn any and everything about the city I am staying in from the amazing people I stay with through CouchSurfing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An outgoing personality, a desire to meet and learn things about people, stories from my past and Colorado, and pictures I've taken and the stories behind each picture.
