About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live a Good Life... And in the end, It's not the years in the life, It's the life in the years.

ABOUT ME

Hello,
I have lived in Portland for about two years and I absolutely love it here. Everyday is an adventure to me. I get the bliss of living close to the outdoors while still having opportunities that this wonderful city provides.

I try to travel at every opportunity I get. I love learning about new cultures and traditions and am fascinated very easily with new experiences.

I love meeting new people on a daily basis and look forward to all my future travels, goals and aspirations.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to give, help, and do good things on this earth. I always try to pay it forward and always look at the glass half full instead of half empty. I am generally a happy person with many positive aspects and I love to be around people that feel the same:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS but I completly agree with what it stands for! I support international exchange and want to help with doing my part by offering my couch and hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never used CS before but I am very excited too!!Before CS I have ventured and stayed with strangers before that turned into lifelong friends.

Interests

I love traveling and I love the Summer time! I would prefer to live in the sun all year long which is my ultimate goal someday! I love swimming, camping, fishing, hiking, backpacking, hunting, foraging, picnics,going on long drives and all outdoor activities. I also enjoy people watching, shopping, and meeting and exchanging in conversation with wonderful strangers!

I have an interest in naturopathic Medicine:) I look forward to meeting people that share the same interest. As well as meeting other doulas and midwifes!

I also have an interest in natural building. I am especially fascinated by straw bale building. I look forward to meeting people with the some of the same interest and aspirations to build straw bale houses.
