I am starting school at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR this fall and intend to pursue either a Psychology or Environmental Studies major.
I have been performing on stage since I was three, and have participated in performances of more than a dozen varieties.
I want to live fully and passionately by expanding my perspective as much as I can through travel, education, and trying just a little bit of everything.
I collect interesting people. Everyone is unique, with their own experiences, values, background, culture, and interests. Most people are worth meeting.
Philosophy: I strive to find balance in all aspects of my life. However I do not aim exactly for center, because staying right in the middle is nothing but stagnancy. I try to bring as much passionate positivity into the world as possible.

"Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears."
-Albert Camus

"If you want to know where your heart is look to where your mind goes when it wanders."

I have unexpected overnight guests a lot and will give them a place to sleep and coffee, tea and breakfast in the morning.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Traveling is important for expanding life experiences, and so should be more accessible than the travel industry has made it.
I love living through collaboration, connection and fantastical experiences.
I've welcomed some interesting people into my home in the past and am excited to be hosting more in the future, once I am what I consider to be an appropriate age for doing so.

教，学，和分享

I think the most important things we can learn come indirectly and by chance- what I teach you may be a little bit less tangible than a technique or party trick. I will, however, happily share any knowledge or information that comes to mind.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Keep clean, do dishes, conversation, I'll cook a meal if we have an extended stay
I can try my best with any task you ask of me (watching kids, moving things, grocery shopping)
