CURRENT MISSION

The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because if you can do that, you can do anything.

ABOUT ME

I have lived in Portland, Oregon for most of my life. Last year I traveled with a friend through Europe and volunteered on several organic farms. I love traveling, learning languages, and meeting people from different cultures. I am currently a student at the University of Oregon studying philosophy and anthropology. Life is good.

PHILOSOPHY

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" -Eleanor Roosevelt

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Last year I couchsurfed in Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, and England. I have not yet hosted, but am very interested!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never had a bad experience. The people I have met are awesome and I learned things that I never would have known had I stayed in a hostel or hotel.

Centres d'intérêt

All sorts of stuff. I LOVE to read and read pretty much anything with words. I like sports, mainly soccer. During the school year I play soccer and lacrosse. I also ski in the winter, just for fun though, not competitivly. I play piano and guitar in my spare time.
