I'm just starting my journey in PA school, but love to travel and am constantly learning. I'm passionate about volunteering with kids and am a Left Coast Liberal. I love to chat and debate, as well as share a bite to eat or a bottle of wine. My current goal is to make it through PA school with my sanity in tact.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world who've been bit by the travel bug, like myself. I love hearing stories and making connections. I also love showing people around Portland, so hit me up if you'd like a free tour guide!

Interests

Beer, wine, and boardgames. I love politics and food, as well as hiking, kayaking, naps, and walking around town with upbeat music playing in my headphones.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Everything Disney or Pixar (I have over 60 Disney VHS), Mean Girls, Lucky Number Slevin, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Idiocracy, and How To Tame Your Dragon, and and and... it's so hard. There are so many!

Music: Stuff that never gets old: Coldplay, Gin Wigmore, Kygo, Death Cab, Passion Pit, Marina and the Diamonds, Ke$ha (don't judge me) and I love lounging around with some classical music playing in the background.

Books: Harry Potter, American Gods, Wicked, Snow Falling on Cedars, Candide, Slaughterhouse Five. Put it in front of me and I'll give it a chance. I'm also a fan of pop-neuro-science books.
