CURRENT MISSION

living the dream!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 yr old student from Seattle, Washington. I'm currently studying music business at the University of Miami. In the summer, I work at a summer camp in the Cascade Mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way. I love trying new things and exploring unfamiliar territory. I am inspired by the people that surround me, and try to keep a positive attitude.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently joined couch surfing, and am eager to make new friends in this community. You can count on me to provide laughter, good stories, and plenty of compliments.

ready to make some memories

Interests

My two great passions are music and travel. I'm a classical oboist, and spend much of my time performing and practicing. I also dabble with the ukulele just for kicks ;) For the past three years, I've worked as a DJ at WVUM in Miami. I love it! College radio is a blast and constantly exposes me to new music.

I also have a passion for exploring the outdoors. On sunny days I head for the mountains for hiking and scrambling. There is nothing like a view from the top of a peak in the Cascades. From Mt. Rainier to the San Juan Islands to the Olympic Range, views like this remind me of how proud I am to call the Pacific Northwest my home. Lately I have been volunteering at a sailing center to work on my sailing skills. I hope to get out on the water more this summer.
I prefer biking to driving, but definitely don't feel guilty about driving if it's raining outside.
