I'm currently travelling in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile! This is my first serious trip I'm taking on my own, and I've been absolutely loving it.

I'm into food, art, dancing, brewing, fashion, museums, music, nature, markets, learning languages, meeting new people, and food.

I've called Portland my home for the past thirteen years, and I feel like I've watched it evolve from one city to another. I loved it then and I love it now, especially the corner of town where I live.

It's cliche to say, but the most valuable thing in my life is and always has been the connections I make with other people. That's what I'm here for, and why I'm travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like people. The most important things to me are the relationships I form with people I care about. I love meeting new, different people.

In trying to broaden my worldview, Couchsurfing is a great way to connect with people I'd otherwise never connect with.
