Hi there! I'm a university student working towards a degree in design. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States which has taught me to adore rainy days and the great outdoors. I do my best to keep life simple: be fully alive until you are not and be kind, always.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Three reasons:
1) Make friends across the globe
2) Travel more simply, and help others do the same
3) Save the moneys (gotta love that student budget)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived on the 387mi² island of Yap (Micronesia) for a year teaching nine 3rd graders. I'm pretty sure I learned more than I taught that year.
