About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Delve into everything the world has to offer and see what I can offer in return.
ABOUT ME
I am an outgoing person who is always looking for the next adventure. I live for seeing new things, creating new experiences and meeting new people. I believe the secret to a fulfilling life is to undertake unique challenges for which to grow and draw insight from.
PHILOSOPHY
You determine your likes and dislikes through actions, not philosophizing...
Live. Love. Breathe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am a rookie, looking to turn pro!
Interests
My passion is health and science. I have a bachelors degree in Human Physiology from the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!) and plan to attend a naturopathic medicine school when I return from my travels. I have a strong appreciation for all forms of health modalities and believe they all have an important place in retaining holistic health.....But firsts things first, I LOVE TO TRAVEL and I want to see as much of the world while I still have the opportunity to : )
Music is constantly getting me through the day and I have a wide range of musical interests. You might find me listening to or attending a show for classical and alternative rock, jazz, and blues, underground hip hop and reggae. If you know of a fun show or are looking for one, look me up!
Also, sports are a huge part of my life. I love to stay active, so if you are ever in Portland, Oregon and looking to play anything from disc golf to basketball, biking to snowboarding, or hiking to swimming, look me up! I'm always up for learning a new game!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Living in the Northwest is a continual moment of awe. I am truly blessed to live in a place of never ending opportunity to explore. From the beaches to the mountains, rural southern oregon to urban portland oregon, I could spend my entire life journeying through the NW and still not see everything.
One reason I love sports is because they often show how years of hard work can culminate in one very special, profound moment. Over my years of participating and observing sports, I have been lucky to see many of these moments.
Hopefully my travels will bring me new moments to add : )
More to come....
