ABOUT ME

Traveling in Australia for the next year.

The past two years I was working as a wedding photographer in the Virgin Islands. I really love my job and all the people I've met. I also am passionate about travel, food, yoga, and people. I love to meet new people and hear stories. Very social and bubbly.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn as much as I can everyday and do what I love. To be open minded and try to say yes more often than no. To love and be compassionate despite people's differences to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Portland I opened up my living room to couch surfers and it's how I've met some of the most wonderful inspiring people in my life. I'm always excited to show someone around the city and also get to learn about where they're from. My roommates are also on couchsurfing.org so I've met some amazing people through the people they've hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couch surfed once, and that was in Germany. It was an amazing experience, and I hope to couch surf more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I scuba dived at a shipwreck. I swam down underneath the shipwreck and came into contact with a 7 ft shark. Before diving I was afraid of encountering a shark but once I was near it I felt mesmerized and observant of its behavior. The shark saw me but continued doing its thing. It was amazing!
