CURRENT MISSION

Travelling and meeting new friends is one hell of a life mission, and definately worth it

ABOUT ME

I'm a sophomore in college at Portland State University. I'm a pre-med student majoring in biochemistry. I come from a pretty diverse ethnicity myself, and I've always kind of felt that traveling is in my blood. I love my city, and I'd love to let others fall in love with it too.

I love my job, I work at one of the hippest food carts in portland. But other than work, I read a lot, especially since I live a few blocks away from the worlds largest bookstore (Powell's Books)! I also surf down at the coast during the spring and summer, and longboard year round. I'm surrounded by music probably 90% of my life, so I hit up a lot of concerts, which Portland is awesome for. Coffee is one of my odd, addicting obsessions, but its great for sharing stories, so I'm okay with it :) I also love to paint and meet other people to learn about their life.

PHILOSOPHY

You only have one life to live. One body, one story, one love. Its up to you to choose the path you wish to lead. So roll with the punches, and never let yourself get lost in someone else's dreams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The thing I love most about traveling is meeting new people. Since I don't have a couch to share at the moment (dorms aren't the best place to crash), I'm very willing to meet people from out of town and show them around. I ride my bike or take the bus almost everywhere so I can show you the true native's side of town!
