CURRENT MISSION

Ride Bikes like a Dutch Woman

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, friendly, but also enjoy quite time. I spend as much time as I can outside or exploring restaurants in Portland OR. I am attached to my bike and try my best to live a simple, balanced life. Oh, and I am on a mission to become a renaissance woman.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both surfed and hosted and have had great experiences thus far.

Interests

I have just finished a graduate program in Architectural History at the University of Oregon which has allowed me to explore many of my other passions including urban development, food production/the way we eat and the way we move. I spend my time riding my bike, pouring and drinking beer (work at a brewery), teaching yoga, running and now that I am done with school, thinking about what is going to come next.
