Hi All,

I am finally home in Portland after 133 days in 8 countries around the globe, all in a vigorous attempt to collect unforgettable moments. I will start university in September to study become a civil trial lawyer. I want to be a voice against the corporations that put profit above the safety and well being of people and the environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am hoping to meet great people and explore new cities in a more local and authentic way... And save some dollars while I'm at it because law school ain't cheap :)

Interests

I'm a very active person and live for adventure. Hiking, rock climbing, swimming, snowboarding, dirt bikes, camping, softball, golf, wake boarding, paddle boarding and the list goes on. I thrive off of people and am an extrovert and love to entertain. I love to read (which is helpful to my future law career), be creative, learn, and enjoy intellectual challenges. I am vegetarian as much as possible and enjoy new and exciting foods.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every Single Day is Amazing if You see the Beauty in the little Things.

133 days of solo travel to Thailand, the Philippines, Bali, Japan, Greece, Italy and England.

I finished a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Thailand and it was the most brutal and wonderful thing I have ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have read many fascinating books about people, culture, phycology, fiction, personal development, law, and sales/marketing. I love directing others to resources so they can learn new things too and always appreciate when others share the same with me. I have lived a collective life with a wide range of experience and I enjoy sharing those experiences, stories and wisdom.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, a partner for sports, hikes, coffee, exploring, a friend.

And I find cleaning cathartic.
