CURRENT MISSION

Don't fear going slow, be afraid of standing still

ABOUT ME

I studied at Northern Arizona University and now work and live in Portland, Oregon as a journalist. I am a dancer- ballet, tap, jazz, hiphop, you name it! This is my second passion; first being TRAVEL! I started my obsession only three years ago and have traveled to well over 20 countries. My favorite part of traveling, above landscape, food, monuments, are the PEOPLE. As a writer, I am eager to hear your story and connect. I'm easy to get along with and extremely open to new ideas and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life through instinct and karma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS community by couch surfing and meeting people through this website to bring the global community closer. Although I cannot host people (i live in a small dorm room on campus), i am able to meet with people to hang out and show them around Arizona or Oregon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for the first time with my older sister in Japan during the New Years Holidays. This was one of the most rewarding experiences of our trip because we were able to have a more intimate trip. It allowed us to live with a local and he helped us around alot because of the countries language barrier. We also met with other through CS for dinner and drinks on various nights.

My second time couchsurfing was with my other sister in Switzerland, Winter 2012.
