CURRENT MISSION

Experience everything!

ABOUT ME

I'm extremely easy-going but love to explore and learn about new places. I've been told that I am pretty quiet (though I feel the opposite, haha). I have a good sense of humor and go with the flow very readily.

I'm a west coast girl through and through, so I love to be outdoors exploring. Hiking, surfing, and swimming are some of my favorite things to do.

PHILOSOPHY

Eat, drink, and be merry.

"There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after." -J.R.R. Tolkien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I want to travel, but if you're ever in Portland and I'm available, hit me up! I grew up in a huge family and am not a stranger to house guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. I want to have some great experiences though!

Interests

I love hiking, building shit, reading, making art, going to flea markets, and investigating dingy pet stores (though this phenomena may only exist in Los Angeles). I like everything spooky or kitschy. I collect daguerreotypes/ tin types, weird objects, and and experiences. I like off-beat places and interesting people.
