ABOUT ME

I am a history and english student, and I hope one day to work in environmental conservation.
I enjoy seafood, photo booths, and elephants.

PHILOSOPHY

I share a philosophy with many others; one which involves enjoying life and experiencing as much as possible because we are here for such a short time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best day of my life so far was when I drove from Portland, Oregon to the coast with three of my best friends. In one day I saw rolling green hills and farmland that stretched on forever, a dense forest with giant trees covered in bright green moss, the beach in a town called Seaside with giant cliffs and colorful little houses, Astoria- a fishing village where "The Goonies" took place that is the most aesthetically pleasing antique town I've ever seen, the place where explorers Lewis & Clark reached the Pacific, and a military shipwreck just hangin' out on a beach. It was cloudy and rainy and so cold, but we didn't care one bit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I give really good massages.
I am also very knowledgeable when it comes to movies. Additionally, I am a planner and love creating travel itineraries for myself and others.
I would love to learn more about literature, wine, and sea-kayaking.
