I'm a 23 year old computer science major from Portland, Oregon in the United States. I'm the 5th of 6 kids so growing up was pretty hectic. I speak conversational Spanish and want to learn to speak it better, and I think that life should be a challenge and an adventure every day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because every time I've had a couch surfing experience it's been a perfect memory that I value so much!

Interests

I love the natural world and being active- I snowboard, surf, play soccer, and climb mountains (most recently I climbed to the crater rim of Mt. St. Helens in Washington with my brother and brother-in-law- it was an incredible experience). I've had the lucky opportunity to go paragliding in the French Alps, mountain biking in Montana, surfing on the California coast, and scuba diving in the freezing mountain lakes of Oregon. Skydiving is high on my life “bucket list”. I travel because I love to experience new cultures and meet new people, and I play the drums, sing, and and act on stage!
