I grew up and currently live in Portland. I love being outdoors and connecting with people. I’ve traveled throughout Latin America and I lived in Chile briefly. I work as a legal assistant for an immigration lawyer and I am passionate about social justice. I’ll often be traveling with my boyfriend, Bayo Olympio, and we are hoping to start hosting once we move.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know people, and especially travelers. I believe traveling is as much or more about connecting with people as it is about seeing places. I want to be a part of a community of travelers supporting each other’s goals of learning about the world and each other.
