I would like to think of myself as an individual who is constantly following my passions whether that be schooling, learning a second language, staying active, or exploring.

For the past two years, while not in school, I have been traveling/working throughout Central America volunteering with NGO and non-profits concerning environmental and human rights issues.

Growing up in Eugene Oregon I developed a passion for outdoor recreational activities. Because of this, I am often biking, fly fishing, camping, kayaking (both sea and white water), hiking, trail running while also enjoying friends and family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy developing knowledge about the world and meeting new people and engaging in conversation about experiences, passions, differences/similarities, culture, customs and much more is one way, for me, to do so.
