I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and have been traveling ever since I can remember. Before I had turned one, my parents had brought me to South Africa to see a radically different way of life for summer vacation. In grade school, my mom took my brother and I to live in Greece for four months. We visited Australia some summers to see where my mom went to college. We lived in different states in the US, always coming back to New Orleans but always getting up and leaving to go somewhere new or return to see it in a new light.

I love couch surfing because it allows me to exchange stories, and find amazing friends all over the world. It's the best introduction to a new culture and provides an amazing network to meet amazing people.

Currently, I work with six graders and high school students for Northwest Outdoor school to spread a love for the outdoors and learn more about the nature around us. Our site is on the coast of Oregon 2 hours west of Portland.
