I grew up in a small desert town in Western Colorado, but now home base is in Portland, Oregon. I lived in Quito, Ecuador for 6 months to learn Spanish, and this past summer I traveled through Mexico & Cuba.
I am currently studying Social Work and someday would like to practice art therapy (or maybe open up a cafe, not sure yet!)
Living close to nature is extremely important to me, as being outside is one of my favorite activities. I'd consider myself very outgoing, flexible, adventerous, & open to everything that life has to offer me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing allows both parties to share & connect. I love meeting new people & creating relationships in everywhere I go. Fostering a global community by sharing and connecting is something I want to be a part of.
My experience this summer Couchsurfing in Mexico was truly a highlight...I got to experience some amazing food, locations, and relationships I would not have gotten to have otherwise!

Now that I am back in Portland, I am trying to get more settled. I would love to begin hosting as a way to give back to the CS community.
