Overview
About Me
I enjoy being in nature and engaging in outdoor sports. I've competed as an amateur athlete in dragon boating (Australia) and eights rowing (England), and have recently started mountaineering and expanding my climbing, paddling and running practices. I've travelled the world for over 4 years but have been back in the States for the last two years. I'm currently based in Portland where I work providing intensive community-based mental health services to high acuity youth, however, I'm currently exploring new career options. As I transition into a new professional chapter, I'll be travelling around the West Coast where I'll be working on a number of projects, including visually documenting regional American life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I consider myself a traveller and love connecting with other travellers. I enjoy learning, growing, and sharing knowledge and experiences with others. I value a system of mutual help

Music, Movies, and Books
I love Dostoevsky, Neruda, Paz, and Orwell, but also enjoy exploring new recommendations :)
I've been a bit out of the loop with movies but anything dark, dramatic and nuanced and I'm hooked
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy language exchanges and teaching/learning photography and editing skills. As a mental health clinician, I can also provide an authentic and empathetic ear. I'm also always keen on teaching and expanding my cooking skills. I enjoy eating as clean and as vegetarian as possible and love to share recipes :)
