I'm a student at Oregon State University, currently working towards a Bachelor's in Business. I volunteer regularly in the Willamette Valley community of Oregon and work diligently to expand my horizons and development through unique experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend introduced my to Couchsurfing as a new way to travel and meet new people in the cities that I am eager to visit in the future so I said, "why not?" and jumped on-board!

Interests

Sports (avid Baseball and American Football fan - stereotypical I know - but also a strong supporter of the Portland FC Timbers, #RCTID !), I admire architecture, enjoy spending time in the natural world, experiencing new cuisines and art expressions, meeting new people and learning... it's impossible to know everything but it's a journey wort travelling!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music and country (another US stereotype) but I also enjoy anything that you can dance to with passion - samba, salsa, raggae, etc. - because music is a release of the hidden beauty of the soul in my opinion!

Movies are easy: Star Wars Saga, Indiana Jones Saga, and The Count of Monte Cristo.

Books: The Black Swan, The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked to the scenic view of Kjeragbolten in Norway, a rock about 2.5m in diameter that stands locked between two mountain faces nearly 1200m above ground level. As someone who is paranoid about heights it was both exhilarating and fear-conquering to complete the task!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Advice in regards to exploring the Pacific Coast of the United States of America, as well as 24 years of life experiences along the coast to help with both organizing and travelling throughout the states of Oregon and California particularly and into Mexico if interested. Culture clarification for anyone interested in speaking to an 'American' rather than seeing us on TV making a fool of ourselves! :)
