Présentation
À propos de moi
Nature is the love of my life. Helping others is my purpose. Travel is my addiction.
I love discussing politics, economics, philosophy, and learning about people's lives and what makes them tick.
I am 24 years old and I currently live in the Pacific Northwest - as I have all my life. I am originally from a tiny un-incorporated township along the southern boarder of Washington and Oregon. In my home town there are little more than 80 people, no gas station, no post office, not even a bar.
I have a BA in Outdoor Recreation/Adventure and Environmental Education.
I have traveled and fallen in love with 9 countries - still counting.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
Meeting new people from far away places is my favorite part of traveling. I believe that there is something to be learned from each person I meet.
I'm couch surfing because I love to travel and explore new places in the most authentic ways I can. What better way to try than to stay with a local?

I am horrible at picking favorites, but two books I like that I've read recently include...
The Book of Joy

The Hobbit (okay not recently but I love it)
Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
I've spent 3 days and 3 nights alone in Grizzly Bear country.
I've ridden through a sandstorm into the Sahara Desert on camel back.
(Sorry, I couldn't chose between the two)
