I'm a free spirit who is addicted to traveling with a passion for people, culture, and food. I grew up in the foothills of a mountain and that has completely shaped who I am as a person. I adore the wilderness and have spent most of my life pursuing the outdoors, bringing along anyone who wants to join. You can usually find me outdoors or volunteering, or both! I am not a hotel and suitcase type of girl, much more of a couch and backpack type. I graduated from nursing school in May 2018 and work in mental health currently, a job that I'm truly passionate about and excited to go to everyday. I meditate almost every day, cook my own food most meals, and have been vegetarian for several years and have recently gone waste free. If you want more proof that I'm a real person, check out my Instagram @schmidt.courtney. Let's meet up, share a meal and conversation!

PHILOSOPHY
Nothing is permanent, so why stress? I allow my spirit and soul to flow from myself into the world around me by sharing as much positivity with the people I meet as possible.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am here to meet awe inspiring people, engage our souls, and travel all over while making life changing friends. I am thrilled to meet up with people when the visit Portland, OR, USA to give an awesome tour of the not-so-touristy stops that true Portlanders love. I also use Couchsurfing when I travel to meet new people, share experiences, and grow my community of truly inspiring people in my life around the world.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share my sparkling personality, some rad Dad jokes, and I would love to give you a photo-shoot/portraits if you so desire! I love to cook as well, so perhaps you teach me a dish from your culture and I'll teach you a dish from mine? That sounds like a good deal to me.
