I'm originally from the Portland, Oregon area, but currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology in Arizona. I am friendly and easy going. I love good conversation, jokes, cooking, exploring the outdoors, and meeting new people while traveling the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience different places with some help from a local's perspective. Through couchsurfing I hope to learn more about myself and the rest of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music-- I like just about anything, but have recently been really into 70s jams.

Movies-- Shawshank Redemption, thrillers, documentaries, and romcoms.

Books-- Stephen King, and trying to make my way through the "Rory Gilmore Book Challenge".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 6 weeks in Colombia teaching English. I lived with a host family that only spoke Spanish, and got to travel the country with other volunteers from all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Sign Language!

I'd like to learn about your experience as a local and as a traveler.

I can share some healthy recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some stories of my travels and experiences, and some good laughs. I can make a mean cup of tea, and share some snacks that I have accumulated from travels or have on hand (I always have snacks).

Countries I’ve Visited

Colombia, Croatia, Italy
