Positive, adventurous, and easy going! I grew up in Northern California in the Bay Area. I am a student at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, majoring in Environmental Studies with a minor in Political Economy. Though I am currently studying abroad and living in Dakar, Senegal to experience an entirely new culture and improve my french (and wolof) language skills. I love to be outside and explore new places. I am excited to make friends from around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a student traveling on a shoe string! More importantly, I think it is an awesome opportunity to meet new people and see people's lifestyles in different parts of the world.

Interests

One of my greatest passions is long distance trail running. I run for my college cross country and track teams and I grew up hiking and camping with my family in the California coastal mountains. I am interested in environmental and social activism as a future career. I love baking deserts and creating delicious breakfasts. I love going to see live music.
