I got my BA in Physics and Sculpture at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I'm passionate about science and art together. I love to travel and to meet new people. I am a very positive person and I try to say yes to all new experiences. I am open-minded and passionate about the world.

I like to see light and life in all things, I hope to spread joy with whatever I do and wherever I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world and meet new people at the same time. I think it's essential to learn culture through the people who know it the best (and the food!). Couchsurfing proves to help me to see and learn about the world and the beautiful people who inhabit it.

Interests

I'm interested in people and what they are passionate about. I'm interested in what makes people happy & maybe it will become a shared interest too!
