I'm from Portland, Oregon and am studying fine arts in Paris. I'm inspired by multi-media art forms, literature, ballet, sustainability, and learning about new topics I would otherwise have no idea about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to make new friends from around the world. I think the best way to learn about different cultural perspectives is by being and living in them.

Interests

I love hiking, being outdoors, and finding peace in nature, but I also love being in the midst of an exciting and bustling city... I am fascinated by cultures, languages, and people.

I normally find myself with coffee in one hand and a camera in the other. Although I enjoy documenting my travels with photographs, I most enjoy photographing people. I love capturing interesting moments and expressions, and I think each photo can tell a different story of the person.

I also like yoga, dogs, and finding hole-in-the-wall coffee shops.

Lord of the Rings, Dirty Dancing, anything Leo.

I'm currently reading the works of female poets: Mary Oliver, Emily Dickinson, and Gertrude Stein to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have walked behind a waterfall, met Harrison Ford in Alaska, and road tripped through Cambodia in a car with no AC.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic ballet steps... the perfect plié is not an easy feat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chances are, I have packed in my suitcase a little something from Oregon I can share with you.
