I’ve lived in two other countries so far (Turkey & China) and am about to leave for the Peace Corps The Gambia. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. Living in Portland til June, but I think I’ll always feel restless!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I currently live in a tiny basement with a large (6’6”) human so I unfortunately cannot host. I think this is an excellent opportunity to continue to meet new people - hearing stories & being introduced to different ideas.

Interests

Like most people on this website, I love to travel. I also love to read and bake. Hiking has become a must living in the PNW. Also an avid lover of dogs! I’ve recently started indoor bouldering, which I love. I snowboard but not well 😂
