I’m a young dreamer setting my sights on fulfilling my childhood (and current) desire to discover the world. Curious and passionate wanting to ask questions of other people with different lived experience and share my own. Hoping to gain a better understanding of the world and use that to help give back more effectively. From a small town in the Pacific Northwest of the US with ambitions far beyond it. Currently taking a gap year to take time to travel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with other people and get an insight into the local life of where I am staying

Interests

Thinking up designs in my head and reimagining things around me. I see things and think of ways to improve them and how I could problem solve and that is what I want to do for work as well. I am interested in the world and other countries and seeing it for myself and meeting lovely people and trying new foods.
