ABOUT ME

I'm moving to As, Norway for Graduate School this Fall. I'm moving from Austin, Texas in the United States. During college, I spent a semester of college in Argentina, a summer in Alaska and a Spring in Argentina. I have been a Cross Country Tour Guide in the United States. I live in South Korea for two years and backpacked through South East Asia for 5 months. In Korea I bike toured, in Austin I rock climbed and in Norway...I have a lot of ideas. Haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am moving to Norway and am nervous about starting over again and about the cost of living. I'll be a short train ride from Oslo and would love some friends in the city. I also will be on a very strict budget, so an offered couch would be much appreciated.

Interests

There are few topics I don't enjoy talking about and I'd love to learn anything you have to teach me. I'm eager to meet fellow rock climbers and anyone who can offer information about winter activities in Norway. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big anime and sci fi nerd. Nothing gets me more excited than a talk about TV and movies. My face will light up...but I am embarrassingly ignorant about European cinema.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I see a good view of a city or scenery it is the most amazing thing I've seen. My mind can't comprehend the vastness of it and all I can process is the beauty. I think my sure iron will to travel coming from the background that I do is so far my greatest achievement. I'm proud that I've done many things, even though they scared me. A few of them include white water rafting, sea kayaking and ice climbing on a glacier. Thru hiking 60 miles of the PCT alone and inexperienced. Leading camping tours across America to many places I'd never been while pulling a trailer and driving a 15 passenger van.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn absolutely anything you are willing to teach me. I have a random assortment of knowledge on politics, history, philosophy and any other social science. I'm always looking to expand my knowledge and share what I've learned as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am up for anything!! If you want to go on a hike or go clubbing all night, I'm your woman.
