About Me

Twenty-three. Just finished a volunteer year in Portland, OR and now living and working there. Went to school in Providence, RI before that. Spent a semester in Switzerland, and traveled around Europe. I've also been to Tijuana, Mexico and around Guatemala. Currently, I'm road-tripping my car out to Portland from New Hampshire. Hoping to see some cool sites and meet people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems like an awesome way to explore the world and meet new people.

Interests

Outdoor activities.. hiking and camping in the summer, snowboarding in the winter. Love travel, FOOD.. beer. Meeting new people...good times and good laughs. MUSIC! Live music of any kind is always enjoyable.

Music, Movies, and Books

**I can appreciate pretty much all music. so much good stuff out there-- always looking for new stuff to check out.
**Call Me By Your Name is one of my more recent favorites, otherwise Family Stone or Little Women.
**Favorite book might be The Four Agreements... I'm into that life-philosophy, self-help type stuff. Also have STACKS of books waiting for me to read them. Anything I should add to the pile?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
