CURRENT MISSION

Seeking change, adventure, learning and growth, laughter, stories and a full life.

ABOUT ME

I am newly transplanted from Texas to Wallawa Co., Oregon! My partner, Joshua, and I are taking a short trip abound Oregon to visit friends & family & sightsee.

I'm generally a quiet person, but I enjoy meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I am quite passionate about music & art & adventures. I have a deep love for wildlife and nature. Working on saying yes to life more often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really appreciate the concept of sharing with one another; increasing trust and human connection. It is something that I believe will make us all better people.

Interests

Reading, hiking, biking, eating new foods, painting, cake decorating, music (playing and listening), taking care of plants, sustainable living, gathering mushrooms and berries from the forest, learning, cooking. Basically any hands-on activity, especially if it includes some form of creativity. I enjoy laughing and being adventurous and spontaneous, but also being quiet and at peace with the silence. I am drawn to nature and being outdoors, and animals will always be my favorite company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking to Trolltunga in Norway. It was so challenging getting there, and the experience of standing on the end of the formation felt unreal. Was I really there?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play the piano for you...share a bottle of wine...cook dinner with you!
