After traveling about the US trying to find a place which felt like home, I’ve found it in Portland. I live in a cute house with my partner, my pup, and my glorious roommate. I haven’t been able to travel in a while as I just began nursing school at OHSU. In my past lives I’ve been a personal trainer, an entrepreneur, a barista, and more! I love the outdoors, food, beer and wine. And dogs. All the dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To put a little more faith in US as a global community. More faith in humanity. To host and be hosted.

Interests

I really enjoy the outdoors: rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, skiing, etc.; I also like coffee, exotic cuisines, sauce, volleyball, reading, and spending time with friends and my pup.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the movies Parasite, Black Swan, Corrina Corrina, and Moulin Rouge, adore (almost) all branches of music, and have many favourite books. My favorite authors are John Kennedy Toole, Dostoyevsky, & Murakami.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It isn't that rare anymore, but I have been sky diving. Something unique about my experience is that my instructor had to utilize our reserve chute. I was in such a mental state of extreme calm by this time that I was prepared to smack into the ground. Luckily, we didn't! But it did take me a while to snap out of it and realize what had just happened.
