I am very easy going and I love seeing new places, people, and cultures. I was on my college's Track and Field team and love doing any type of sport or outdoor activity. I really enjoy morning tea and smoothies with my black lab, Pippin. I grew up on a farm with a lot of apple trees and a love for Lord of the Rings so It seemed appropriate to name the dog Pippin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends and have the chance to explore new places on a student's budget. I feel I learn more about a place by meeting locals and getting their perspective. When I can host guests I hope to provide them with a great experience of the Great North West.

Interests

Sports, archery, hiking, biking, cuisine from around the world, any activity I can do with my pets, reading, camping, margarita afternoons, I really want to do more rock climbing, and oh gosh I feel this list could go on for a while.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music wise I honestly like pretty much anything. I have a weakness for old classic movies, especially those starring Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, or Cary Grant. I would say one of my favorite movies is Doctor Zhivago (1965). Most of the books I read are either fantasy or mystery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say either when I rode an elephant while i was in Thailand, or when i biked around the entire island of U-do in South Korea. Both were quite amazing to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I specialized in Exercise Science in college so I have a good amount of knowledge when it comes to the body and staying healthy. I have been working for a Chiropractor and would like to further my knowledge of the field; some day I would like to become a licensed doctor of chiropractics myself.
