Overview
About Me
Hey, I am currently living in Barcelona, Spain working part time as a Platform Analyst in Open Banking, Financial Inclusion, and Mobility as a Service. I am completing my undergraduate degree in Global Studies and will be attending University of Sydney for my final semester.
I enjoy traveling, and have spent a fair amount of time in South East Asia on short term contracts in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Living in Barcelona for the past four years has been an incredible experience to explore around Europe and be immersed in local culture.
I had a deep love for fashion and the industry, but have shifted my focus to the humanitarian sector and hope to utilise my current work within tech as a tool for implementation of change.
Meditation and spirituality are of big value to me, and appreciate spending time in nature.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet new people and maybe find a place while I apartment hunt before university starts!
Interests
Grew up in Montana, in a small city, but I have now come to miss the outdoors.
Camping, Hiking, fishing, biking, dirt bikes, boating, atvs, kayaking, skiing and snowboarding.
I like to explore and try new things. Would love to give surfing a go again. I love the beach.
Last year I rented a motorcycle and rode it though the mountains of northern Thailand, first time on a crotch rocket - I like adventure and thrills. But I'm also pretty laid back.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I love all music because I was meant to be a dancer lol. If I turned on my music now though it would prob be nicki Minaj lol.
Just read Murikami : South of the Boarder West of the Sun. In the middle of Into Thin Air. Oscar Wilde : picture of Dorian Grey.
Movies: all of them. I use to say American Psycho till I watched it recently and realized it completely terrifying.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The motorcycle ride in northern Thailand to Chaing Mai for the lantern festival was pretty amazing.
