I'm an Athletic Trainer from Portland, OR. As the daughter of a travel agent, I've traveled all my life and love to see other cultures and meet people. I am a happy, bubbly person with a love of life, but can still be quiet at times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for new ways to meet people when I travel. Also, it's great to get good tips about the area from the locals.

I would love to be able to host myself, but just moved into a situation where I'm renting a room in someone's home. Hoping to be able to host in the future when I get my own place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled solo to visit Portugal in June 2014. I traveled all over the country and it is one of the most amazing trips I have ever done.
