ABOUT ME

i am from alaska and live in portland, which is a wonderful city that i have fallen a bit in love with. i love books. i am a big advocate for lazy mornings and riding bikes at night. i was an exchange student in austria during high school and it might have been the best thing to have ever happened to me. the traveling itch hasn't gone away since. i'm pretty personable and easygoing. i think solitude is important, but there are few things better than enjoying a friend's company. new or old.

PHILOSOPHY

keep calm and carry on.
