I am an undergrad student studying in Portland, Oregon, and I hope to one day go into diplomacy or work with the UN.

I love exploring and learning new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for places to stay abroad to have a more authentic and fun experience, and to repay the favor for others once I get back home.

Interests

I love anything intellectual, and my books are my best friends.

I love the outdoors, kayaking, hiking and backpacking are some of my favorite pastimes.

I have been dancing ever since I was little, and it brings me joy.

Most of all I love traveling, learning new languages, and meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year living in Paraguay teaching English in an elementary school. It was the most eye opening and humbling experience I've ever had, and it made me want to continue to explore the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook amazing food!

I can also bring a sunshiny smile and lots of stories of kayaking in Alaska (i was twenty feet from a grizzly bear!) and backpacking in Argentina (I danced with a competitive tango dancer!)

I am also in love with making new friends, and I'd like to be yours.
