Hello! I'm a student in Seattle at the University of Washington studying public health (BS), and I am pursing a career as a physician assistant (PA-C). I'm from Denver, Colorado, but have lived in Finland for a year as an exchange student, Pennsylvania for 2 years, and am currently residing in Seattle. I am respectful, friendly, and flexible. I'm on couch surfers because it is very difficult to find money as a college student to travel, and I hope this will give me more access to affordable travel, while at the same time meeting many great people! I am excited to host when my busy schedule allows for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To gain more life experiences and meet a diverse range of hosts/guests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked with my family for 6 months in through South America, Antarctica, Africa, Australia, and a short time in Asia. Have also been an Rotary exchange student for a year in Helsinki, Finland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy learning about local cultures, and hearing all different perspectives and challenging my perceptions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of the US, as I have lived in Denver, Seattle, and for a short time in Pennsylvania. I also am very knowledgable about all things Finnish, as I learned a lot from my year there.
